Challenging your faith

A DANGEROUS FAITH is an excellent book filled with faith-challenging short stories. Good for adults, teenagers; has thoughtful questions and comments at end of each chapter. Could be used for small Bible study.

Outstanding Book!

I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book, but I quickly found myself drawn in by the stories and the messages they contained. There is nothing "small" about anything here: not the adventures, not the beautifully detailed, highly resonant descriptions, and certainly not the God they celebrate. Everything is larger than life, exactly like that same God. A real triumph for Jim Lund and Peb Jackson, reflecting lots of careful thought and serious research. I especially appreciated Mr. Lund's short, chapter-ending devotionals - he demonstrates not only a genuine gift for storytelling but also a corresponding sensitivity to the "hidden linkages" that tie together what man's nature would have us do and what God's nature would have us learn. Highly, highly recommended!

Love it and will share it!

I was delighted and humbled in reading the true life experiences of the numerous characters in this special new book. The experiences shared in almost all cases were very very touching and also strengthening in Faith. I was especially appreciative of the writings after the stories conveying the connection to Jesus and God. Remembering how God helps us, even in times of great dispair is a good message to bring forward. Truly not knowing at the time what blessings will come from the lesson, is protrayed here well. I believe James Lund does an excellent job in story telling and bringing clear messages to us.

great read

These are exciting and dramatic adventure stories, but even better, each story leaves you with a point to ponder about the connection between risk and faith. Highly recommended.
