April Library Update
Last month the library featured the dvd Courageous.
Here are some additional books and resources that coincide with the film to look for in the library.
Author Randy Alcorn brings us the story Courageous in novel form. Follow the lives of Adam Mitchell and Nathan Hayes, two law enforcement officers, as they struggle through the issue of giving their best not only at work, but most importantly at home with their families. See how God works in their hearts through tough situations to teach them to serve and protect their family.
“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
Inspired by the movie Courageous, The Resolution for Men was written to encourage men to be the kind of family leader that God desires.
“…God is calling all women to a new season. Women who reflect their full purpose and potential. Women who embrace life with joy and fulfillment and are known for being faithful in each area of their lives. Women who understand that this involves discipline and self-sacrifice, but it can happen as they allow the Word of God to nurture them and the Spirit of God to take control of them and have His way.”
—The Resolution for Women
Written in partnership with the movie Courageous, The Resolution for Women was written to stir and challenge women to be all God created them to be – in every role in their lives.
Courageous Christian men and women seem to be disappearing in America, replaced by people who readily give in to compromise and “go with the flow.” Pastor Catt challenges readers to step out in faith and exhibit courage by looking at the stories of Moses, Daniel, Ruth, Stephen, and other well-known Bible characters.

The film features an all-star cast, including Anna Sophia Robb and Helen Hunt, with Carrie Underwood in her film debut, and Dennis Quaid. In the wake of this life-changing event that took her arm and nearly her life, Bethany’s feisty determination and steadfast beliefs spur her toward an adventurous comeback that gives her the grit to turn her loss into a gift for others.
And for the Adults | Courageous
Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge they’re ill prepared totackle: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Sherwood Pictures, creators of Fireproof, returns with this heartfelt, action-packed story. Protecting the streets is second nature to these law enforcement officers.
Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That takes courage.
