Battle Ready: Prepare to Be Used by God
Steve Farrar
David C. Cook, 2009, 288 pp., $14.99, DavidCCook.com
The second in the Bold Men of God series, Battle Ready acknowledges that the man who desires to be used by God needs to be ready for the hardships he will face as God prepares him. Praying to be used by God is a noble thing; but are we genuinely open to the hardship that frequently comes with training, or are we simply hoping God will use us in a pain-free and glamorous way?
Using the lives of Joshua and Caleb as scaffolding, Steve Farrar encourages men to learn from them, applying the timeless principles to the current era. Though the stories are familiar, utilizing this book in a group study will reap benefit as men grapple with the discussion questions bringing immediate application to current situations. This resource is best suited to late high school-aged and older.
