"Courageous" is the story of four police officers (and an unlikely 5th friend of theirs) that set out to become better fathers, better men of God, and better men. As a new father myself, I am very conscious of the example I'm setting for our young daughter as she grows up, and more cognoscente than ever before of how I love my wife.

This seems to be a recurring theme in several books I've read in recent years; that "outsiders" see most Christians as judgmental. Isn't that sad?? As "little Christs" (what the word Christian) means, shouldn't we be known for the same types of things that He was? During his 33 years here on earth, Jesus was known for his love and acceptance - not his judgments. He welcomed ALL to come to him - not only those who looked, talked, and acted a certain way. When, exactly did so many of our churches begin to pull so far away from the message of Jesus and take a stance of self-righteousness and judgement?
