Description During Books Courageous
Retailers Choice Award winner, 2012From the creators of "Fireproof" comes an inspiring new story about everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they're quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark. They know that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, but their children are beginning to drift farther and farther away from them. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them? When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children?Rating Out Of Books Courageous

This was very, very good! Five stars for solid story and Christian message. It nailed it calling fathers to responsibility. I would advise caution for younger readers as it deals a lot with drugs and the world that goes with.Audiobook - didn't finish. I listened to more than half of this book, but just couldn't justify spending any more time on it. I'm not opposed to Christian literature, but I found this book full of bad stereotypes and just boring. Nothing happened, except for a lot of preaching.Back to the classics for me.
I watched the movie, which is beyond superb, and then I bought the novelization. In my opinion, the book could have been better written. Within the first three pages of the book, I was seeing the view point from three different people. There was no feel for the characters nor the situation at the time. All emotions and actions were cardboard cut-outs.The words created a very two-dimensional scene. It didn't delve into the characters' emotions and actions. Pretty much, it read like a screenplay
Because I had already seen the movie, I wasn't too sure what to expect out of this book. Normally, I prefer reading a book to seeing a movie and I thought that would be the case for this book but it wasn't. I was surprised to say that I actually preferred the movie. Being able to really see the characters and the emotions behind everything was vastly helpful. While the story is obviously very similar in the books and sometimes word for word from the movie, I didn't feel that there was enough
christian fiction other than left behind series, awesome.this is the story of 4 police officers and their families. The 4 police officers are Nathan and his partner rookie David and Corporal Adam and his partner Shane. Corporal Adam's daughter get his by a drunk driver and Emily dies. Adam forgives the driver and so does his wife Victoria. Adam didn't have a good relationship with his son in the early part of the novel, they didn't run together but later they run together and talk about
Love this book!! Its so good!!
This is one of my favorite books. Well deserved 5 stars and then some!
