DIE STANDVASTIGE MAN is die inspirerende boek wat gebore is uit die fliek COURAGEOUS. Die fliek, wat ’n boodskap lewer oor sterk manlike leierskap, is ’n wekroep vir pa’s om te besef watter geweldige invloed hulle in hulle kinders se lewe en die samelewing het. Hierdie boek bou voort op hierdie boodskap en daag mans van alle ouderdomme uit om hulle verantwoordelikheid as geestelike leier van hulle huisgesin, huwelik en kinders dapper en standvastig te aanvaar. DIE STANDVASTIGE MAN bespreek 12 voornemens oor hoe om die man te wees wat God jou geskep het om te wees, gee riglyne oor hoe om vir jou gesin te bid, lig die belangrikheid van seksuele reinheid uit, en bevat ook besprekingsvrae om mans te help om hulle verlede te verwerk, hulle opnuut toe te wy aan hulle verpligtings teenoor hulle vrou en kinders, en die toekoms in te gaan met duidelike en vaste voornemens.

Based on the new film Courageous (from the makers of Fireproof and authors of New York Times best seller The Love Dare), an inspiring call and clear guide for men to take full physical, social, and spiritual responsibility as fathers and husbands.

“A man cannot be passive about what Scripture tells him to do for his family and expect to be found faithful to God in the end. He must see with spiritual eyes and realize that future generations are directly impacted by his daily decisions.” —The Resolution for Men The Resolution for Men is the inspiring book born out of Courageous, a new film by the makers of Fireproof coming to theaters nationwide in fall 2011. The movie, which presents a powerful story of strong male leadership, is an emotionally charged wake-up call to fathers whose influence upon their children and society is immeasurable. The Resolution for Men follows to challenge men of all ages to become as bold and intentional about embracing their responsibilities as leaders of their homes, marriages, and children. Written by Stephen and Alex Kendrick, screenwriters of Courageous and authors of New York Times No. 1 best seller The Love Dare (five million copies sold), The Resolution for Men strategically inspires men to reconcile with their past, re-engage in the present by taking full responsibility for their wives and children, and then move forward with a bold and clear resolution for the future. Written in partnership with the movie and Priscilla Shirer’s new book, The Resolution for Women, it is designed to inspire a revolution.

Filled with action-packed police drama, COURAGEOUS is the fourth release from the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Releasing in 2011, it joins previous best sellers like Fireproof and Facing the Giants to touch hearts and impact lives through heartfelt stories of faith and hope. Churches used Fireproof to change marriages; COURAGEOUS provides the opportunity to strengthen families and fathers. The story of four law officers who discover leading a family takes even more bravery than fighting crime, COURAGEOUS captures the heart of the father, calling him to Christ as he seeks to be a better dad. As churches and individuals have done with other Sherwood pictures, this movie provides a great opportunity to reach out socially and spiritually to friends, neighbors, and co-workers by inviting them to attend a COURAGEOUS screening, a related Sunday morning sermon, men’s ministry event, or small-group Bible study. Toward that goal, the Courageous Church Campaign Kit comes complete with a step-by-step planning guide, supportive sermon outlines, a 4-week small-group study (with member book and supporting film clip DVD), evangelism outreach materials, a DVD-ROM with promotional trailers and worship helps, an advance copy of Sherwood pastor Michael Catt’s Courageous Living book, plus branded products featuring official COURAGEOUS art to create an exciting campaign suitable for your church or ministry needs.

En réalité, l’amour n’est pas déterminé par l’être qui est aimé, mais par celui ou celle qui choisit de l’aimer ».
