A choice lies before you: Either waste your life or live with risk.Either sit on the sidelines or get in the game. After all, life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didnt promise it would be any easier for his followers. We shouldnt be surprised by resistance and persecution. Yet most of us play it safe.We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we prefer to be entertained. We are all tempted by the idea of security, the possibility of a cozy Christianity with no hell at the end. But what kind of life is that really? Its a far cry from adventurous and abundant, from truly rich and really full, and its certainly not the heights and the depths Jesus calls us to.Discover in these pages a foundation for fearlessness. Hear Gods promise to go with you into the unknown. And let Risk Is Right help you see the joys of a faith-filled and seriously rewarding life of Jesus-dependent abandon!Risk Is Right is a significantly expanded version of a chapter previously published in the book Don't Waste Your Life (chapter 5). Foreword written by David Platt, New York Times' best-selling author of Radical and Radical Together A 48-page, stand-alone edition of chapter 5 from Dont Waste Your Life Ideal for graduation gifts and youth groups
