Why did I write this book?
In a world where front-line kingdom advancement is increasingly dangerous, resilience and endurance require risk savviness and fear management. This book covers a wide range of topics beyond what the practical theology of risk covered in Facing Danger. Facing Fear includes a discussion on the global challenge of violence, the NT Greek background of persecution, discernment in risk, ethics, decision-making, situational awareness, how to think in risk, risk communication, information analysis, how to analyze death threats, and much more.
What is the difference between Facing Danger and Facing Fear?
Facing Danger is a practical theology of risk for front-line work. However, Facing Fear teaches the skills of fear management but also outlines the key elements of what it looks like to be risk savvy, or to put it in Jesus’ words, what it means practically to be as shrewd as a serpent.
In the secular risk industry, there is a standard of best practice, and I took some of the primary texts used at a graduate level to guide my topic selection but wrote for people on the field doing kingdom work for a basic “best practice guide” to encourages Christ’s body to remain firm in their faith and stand strong in the storms of persecution raging around the world.
People often ask me if pre-fielders should read Facing Danger. I didn't write my first book primarily to pre-fielders, but I know some organizations use it for pre-fielders going to dangerous places. However, Facing Fear is a book that I would recommend to anyone in kingdom work as well as pre-fielders!
Would you help me out? Purchasing from Mission Books helps your dollar go further in front-line work, but when you read Facing Fear, giving an Amazon review would help the book get noticed.
