Representaion Supposing 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?Particularize Books Conducive To Courageous

At first I was disappointed with the writing; the characters seemed two-dimentional and stereotypical. Then I realized that they weren't stereotypes they were archetypes. Instead of having strong characters which were clearly individuals, Alcorn has created characters which could be anyone. We can see them as templates for people we know.On to the story. 4 men, very different, all face different challenges of integrity and courage in their daily lives: being a good father, husband, provider,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
OMG! if I could get away with no star I would have chosen no rating at all. My partner and I went to see this movie because the synopsis in no way indicated that it would be far damn cheaper to go to church to be preached at.When I go to a movie and pay $10 I expect to be entertained and see a good plot in action for two hours that will grasp my imagination. It became quite clear to us within minutes that what was being inflicted on us was having bloody religion shoved down our throats. Religion
Love this book!! Its so good!!
If you didn't know already this book was based on a movie by the same name. In our small town we do not get first run movies, so this movie hit our one screen theater in January 2012. My kids went to see it and came home fired up, just like after Fireproof (another movie by the same people). I had to see this. Somehow I ended up awake at 4 am and buying this book for my Kindle. It is now 8:30pm and I think that is the fastest I have ever finished a book. This book will make you laugh, cry,
As a disclaimer, I have seen the movie, so I was familiar with the storyline, plot, etc. So this *may* have influenced my review just a bit. This book was practically verbatim of the movie. At first it drove me just a bit insane, because it seemed to be a bit choppy in the flow. THere wasn't a lot of description, but I could picture it because I had watched the movie. The characters and everything else seemed as if they might would have been a bit shallow and they lacked depth . . . but again, I
