Randy Alcorn talks about how the Courageous novel is over four times longer than the movie. He also shares about how whether you are a father or not, God can use you to impact future generations. 

In October 2011, Randy Alcorn spoke at Grace Community Church about his book Courageous, God's will, having an eternal perspective and studying God's word.

In honor of the Courageous movie being released in theaters, this weekend we're giving away six signed copies of the bestselling Courageous novel, which includes photos from the movie. Will you be going to see the movie this weekend?

In this two-minute audio clip, recorded at the Red Carpet Premiere of the Courageous movie, Randy talks about what it was like writing the novelization, and also shares about some of the themes addressed in the novel.

In this minute long audio clip, recorded at the Courageous Red Carpet Premiere, Randy Alcorn answers a question about whether he watched the movie before he began writing the novelization.

Last year I said yes to writing a novel based on the screenplay of the new movie Courageous, which is being released in theaters on September 30. The movie was done by the Kendrick brothers, Stephen and Alex, who produced Facing the Giants and Fireproof. As Fireproof centered on fire fighters and marriage, Courageous centers on police officers and fatherhood and, not surprisingly, COURAGE for men in their homes and personal lives.

Every novelist knows that movies don’t just have plots, they have themes. And in the exploration of those themes there is inevitably a message, whether or not it is carefully crafted.

Earlier this month I said yes to writing a novel based on the screenplay of the new movie Courageous. Both the movie and novel will be released a year from now.
