Reviews for Facing Danger (Second Edition): A Guide through Risk

Anna Hampton's book on risk is one of the weightiest books I have ever read on the subject. It is not a textbook; it is not a book on spiritual formation; it is not a theology of suffering and it is not a guidebook for leaders in times of risk and danger-yet it is all of these and much, much more. This powerful and profound book has many provocative questions, lists of key points, intriguing quotations from thinkers, and personal stories. Each chapter ends with a summary and points of application. This book is a classic for cross-cultural ministry workers in places of risk and danger. It should be required reading. The author has been there. The book is field-tested.I can't recommend it highly enough. Dr. Laura Mae Gardner Former International VP for Wycliffe Bible Translators and SIL International; Author of Healthy, Resilient, and Effective in Cross-cultural Ministry Responding to God's call means facing decisions about stepping out of the boat when the wind blows and the seas are the roughest. Peter's first step onto the water was only possible because he knew with certainty that Jesus was reaching out for him. This outstanding book draws from years of living with risk and danger while ministering in Afghanistan and Central Asia. I found the personal stories of complicated and risky choices compelling; they gave life to the theory and its practice. This book is a must-read for those facing decisions about following Jesus into dangerous situations. Charles Schaefer, PhD Coauthor of Trauma and Resilience: Effectively Supporting Those Who Serve God With friends, families, churches, and organizations confused by the fact that Christfollowers knowingly step into dangerous and even life-threatening situations, I wonder why it has taken so long for us to engage with the content covered in Anna Hampton's book. This book will prove invaluable for those planning to serve God in dangerous settings and those who need faith to stand with them.
