Outrageous Courage by Kris Vallotton and Jason Vallotton

Outrageous Courage: What God Can Do with Raw Obedience and Radical Faith

Radical obedience to God is something that isn't necessarily common these days.  I was so encouraged by this book...to hear of her radical obedience and the things that God has called Tracy Evans to be a part of.

When she was captured by guerrilla forces, I was amazed at her trust in God and her composure.  I was equally impressed with her quick thinking and her courage during her escape.  I'm not certain I would be able to think that clearly in a crisis.  You can see that her childhood helped prepare her for these instances in which she needed to listen and be quick on her feet to obey.

Tracy didn't have the ideal childhood and questioned God and didn't even come to Christ until later.  She wasn't afraid to ask hard questions and to be very honest.  I couldn't help but laugh at her natural instinct to hit someone, but I did like how God freed her of that. 

Too often, we diminish the impact of prayer and Tracy demonstrates the power of prayer in her life.  She has now given her life to help orphans and I love how she said that she's amazed that God has asked her, a single woman, to be a mother to so many children.  So beautiful.
