Everyday Courage: 50 Devotions to Build a Bold Faith

by John Bevere

It takes courage to live out your faith boldly, especially in the face of hostility or suffering. What gave Joshua and Caleb the courage to follow God's commands despite fear? What gave Esther the courage to risk her life and trust God's plan for His people? What gave the disciples the courage to live out their faith, even to the point of being martyred? They leaned into a greater fear, one that conquers all others— the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord gives believers the power to live with uncompromising faith—a powerful reality we see played out in the pages of the Bible as well as in our lives today. In Everyday Courage , respected Bible teacher, speaker, and bestselling author John Bevere reminds us through Scripture, devotions, and examples from the fathers and mothers of the faith that we, too can live with courage because the fear of the Lord swallows up every other fear in our lives. Each entry As you rediscover the power of holy fear in your life, you will step bravely into courageous living and bolder faith—every single day.

Now THIS is a devotional with some meat! I’m not a fan of many devo’s because I think a lot of them are just fluffy. But this one is NOT fluff. It gives meat every day, not just little nuggets. As the Bevere’s usually do, they speak truth straight forward and pull no punches. Highly recommend.


***thanks to netgalley and Thomas Nelson for an advance copy of this book to review. My opinions are my own.

John Bevere’s sharing of his faith has always resonated strongly with me, and I thank God for Bevere’s body of work over the years.

A truly humble, steadfast and anointed steward, role model I always want to learn from so as to run this race and do it well till the finish line.

I’d given four stars because I’d really have liked a physical copy but it’s not easily available where I am.

This is best heard in small segments over a span of a few weeks.

Wow. I have read quite a few books throughout the last 30 years by John Bevere and they all have impacted my life in some way. This 50 day devotional has indeed impacted my life and I am grateful that it came across my path. Everyone needs more courage and encouragement in their lives and this little book certainly delivers both. It is perfect way to start the day as it is not too much or too little. I appreciated the practicality of what John was sharing and I loved that he ended every day with a short prayer. I hope that he will write more themed devotionals as would certainly be a user of them.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for allowing me a free copy of this gem in exchange for my honest review.

In Everyday Courage, John Bevere has written a new 50-day devotional to assist believers in increasing your faith. There is become a rise in people not standing up for their faith and sharing it boldly. We are afraid of the cancel culture and worried we might offend them. He stated how scripture, Psalm 112:8 encourages us to remember that those who stand in awe of God and are confident and fearless. This can help us to know that the fear of God will shallow up all other fears. God wants to build a strong relationship with each one of us. He explained how we can’t have intimacy with someone if we afraid of them.


One of my favorite chapters was about Andrew and how he followed Christ despite the risk he faced of being prosecuted. He is the very first very disciple. He boldly told his brother, Peter that they found the Messiah. He did at first flee when Christ was taken and arrested. After Jesus rose from the dead, he preached even if he encountered danger. He was arrested in Greece and was instructed by the governor to stop and he refused. He was sentenced to be crucified and he wanted it to be in the shape of an x. He didn’t feel worthy to be crucified in the same way Jesus was. He was one of the many disciples who were killed for commitment to Christ. Scriptures declare in Philippians 1:6 how Christ has begun a good work in us and how He will complete it. We can all hope to have the courage to live out our faith even if we may face the cost of doing so.


I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is ready to live courageously and they are wanting to live out a bold like faith. The devotionals are quick and easy to read and very impactful. I immensely loved the wide range of topics such as, “overcoming defeat, wait patiently in the wilderness, a cure for chaos, reject the fear of rejection, and be ready for the storms”. I enjoyed the personal stories he shared about his own life and how he had to trust God for His provision early in his ministry. Each day enclosed a short story, a verse, and a prayer.





"I received this book free from Thomas Nelson for my honest review.”

John Bevere is unapologetic when it comes to where God stands and what His Word Truly says. Mr. Bevere continues to be unapologetic with his latest release, Everyday Courage: 50 Devotions to Build a Bold Faith. Everyday Courage: 50 Devotions to Build a Bold Faith is a devotional book that deals with the subject of what the fear of the Lord actually means and how to live courageously bold for Him. Each of the 50 devotion entries uses a Bible verse and a prayer, plus valuable insights and examples to go with that particular day’s thoughts.

Everyday Courage: 50 Devotions to Build a Bold Faith by John Bevere is a devotional that I used during my own personal devotional time, making lots of notes along the way. There were many times in Everyday Courage that Mr. Bevere’s writing gutted me and challenged me to better in my Faith, which I appreciated. I love Mr. Bevere’s approach to Fear from a Godly and Biblical perspective and what it really means. Mr. Bevere opened my eyes to see Fear–both Godly respect and how fear can also paralyze us–in an unapologetically manner. I love the examples and encouragement from the Faith that I read in Everyday Courage. I believe that everything that was written within the 50 devotions effortlessly flowed and were cohesive with each other from beginning to end. If you are looking for a encouraging, yet unapologetic devotional then I highly recommend Everyday Courage: 50 Devotions to Build a Bold Faith by John Bevere! You won’t regret it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. My review is also on Amazon and my blog, Leslie's Library Escape.

John Bevere’s latest book, “Everyday Courage: 50 Devotions to Build a Bold Faith” offers readers daily courage-building devotions designed to strengthen and develop a bold faith in today’s trying and often discouraging times. Divided into five separate parts, this book covers courage when needed in the face of fears, to overcome, in the unknown, to live in bold faith and to fully know and revere God. Each devotion starts with a scripture, followed by a brief but inspiring message and closes with a prayer. The contents of this beautiful gift book and its illustrations made for a great start to each day. I definitely recommend this devotional if you are looking to grow your faith in a bold and courageous way.

[Tom Burkholder · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the book Everyday Courage, author John Bevere, writes about the courage it takes to live our faith boldly each day. This is a solid devotional. But it is very similar to his books. I would recommend this book. I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

[Jenn Hutchinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good short devotional book for someone who may not be ready for more in depth teaching that Bevere's books normally covered. I was expecting something more in depth like his other books so I definitely saw another side to his teaching in this devotional book.
