True courage is fearing God, not men.

Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised up men to try to bring them back. The prophets, the apostles, Jesus, and even more recent Christians have all performed this role.

Tough Guys of the Bible profiles men such as these. You will learn four common characteristics of courageous men so you can incorporate those virtues into your life. If you’re already a Christian, the lives of the Tough Guys will challenge you to live boldly for Jesus even when it requires great risk and sacrifice. If you’re not a Christian, don’t reject Jesus because of weak men inside the church. Explore the claims of the Bible through the lives of men who followed God the most, not those who followed Him the least. Evaluate the courageous life of Jesus. We hope you choose to join the Tough Guys in following Him as well.

“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Psalm 118:6)
