Book Description
You were created for many wonderfully fulfilling purposes and experiences--to know the Father, to know who you are in Him, to receive an inheritance from Him, and even to rule with Him. Many Christians are running hard after these things--working to become somebody, striving to have what has been promised, hoping to find their calling and realize their destiny. But they find themselves in a never-ending cycle of restlessness. Everything from God comes from a place of rest, and when you find it, you receive. When you know who you are, whose you are, what you have been given, and what you have been called to do--and experience these amazing blessings from a position of rest - you step into your destiny. Right now, you can be completely secure in your identity. You can begin to receive all that you've been given. And, at rest in your Father's love, you can realize your ultimate purpose -- that you have been called to reign.

“An almost perfect novel” of yearning, adventure, and redemption in the dying days of the Old West from the bestselling author of Peace Like a River (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). Minnesota, 1915. With success long behind him, writer, husband, and father Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose . . . until he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale.

As they flee the relentless former Pinkerton Detective who’s been hunting Hale for years, Becket falls ever further into the life of an outlaw—perhaps to the point of no return. With its smooth mix of romanticism and gritty reality, So Brave, Young, and Handsome examines one ordinary man’s determination to risk everything in order to understand what it’s all worth, in “an old-fashioned, swashbuckling, heroic Western . . .
