Meet the called: mountain climbers, deep-sea divers, fighter pilots, and jungle missionaries who follow God into the adventure of a lifetime.Dangerous Faith tells their dramatic true stories, revealing incredible truths only risk can inspire.

Each of these trailblazers rejects security to reach for a perilous place few Christ-followers dare. Their stories will thrill and amaze you. What they discover just might revolutionize your life–because He’s calling you, too, into a life of risk.

Adventure. Passion. Freedom. Truth. Are you prepared for a Dangerous Faith?

Recensione

“Peb Jackson and James Lund have delivered a book that stirs the heart and breathes life into your soul.”
–Jim Daly, President, Focus on the Family

“A riveting real life read.  If you love adventure and great stories, you’ll find this a very instructive and encouraging book.”
–Dr. Dennis Rainey, President, FamilyLife

“Peb Jackson, being a lifelong adventurer himself, is probably the best person alive to have written A Dangerous Faith.  He’s a dangerous guy who has lived God’s call to a manly and spiritual faith -- a life of risk and full throttle commitment.” 
–Bob Buford, Founder of Leadership Network and author of Halftime and Finishing Well 

“These gripping stories of adventure are more than just fluff. Each one is infused with powerful faith principles that will make every man see his life in a different light. Whether you are a pencil pusher or Indiana Jones, you'll be challenged by this book!”
–Chuck Holton, author, CBN correspondent, and former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger

“As a big fan of survival stories, such as Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm, I was thrilled to discover this riveting collection. These true-life accounts deal with man versus nature, man versus himself, and ultimately man in his quest to know God. With writing that hammers and sparkles, A Dangerous Faith is a must for any man’s collection.”
–Eric Wilson, author of A Shred of Truth and Facing the Giants

“A Dangerous Faith is a gripping tapestry of stories weaving the power of prayer and true life experiences. These stories will motivate and encourage you to be prayer heroes in dealing with your own personal risks in order to do extraordinary things and see God's reward.”
–John Lind, President/CEO, The Presidential Prayer Team

“Too often we think of Christianity as safe, the stuff of felt boards and high teas. How refreshing to see Christians living on the edge, where life can be extinguished in an instant and where the answers aren't so simple. Come meet the robust Savior we serve, the originator and giver of a dangerous faith.”
–Jefferson Scott, author of the Operation: Firebrand series

“It was inspiring to see these examples of God’s power sustaining through crises and changing people in unexpected ways.” 
–C. Scott Harrison M.D., President, CURE International

“A Dangerous Faith is a wonderful read that will captivate the hearts and minds of the reader.  The stories revel at the intersection of human courage and divine intervention. This is a wonderful read for all!”
–Richard Savidge, Vice President, Generous Giving
