I bought this book because it was the one possession of Todd Beamer’s that survived Flight 93. You can see it at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA. Todd was reading it with his church men's group and he had taken it on his trip. He internalized the principles taught by the various authors and lived them in his final moments, when he led his fellow passengers with the words “let’s roll.” This book is an outstanding collection of speeches given by men committed to God and serving through Promise Keepers and other Christian organizations.

I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. I
have Holy Spirit power. The dye has been cast. I
have stepped over the line, the decision has been made...I am a disciple of Jesus, I won’t look back, go back, hold back, let up, slow down, back away, hesitate or be still! My past is redeemed, my present remade and my future re-aimed. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth
knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, dwarfed goals, deficient faith and cheap grace.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, prestige or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, lean by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer and labor by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven,
my gift is grace and my God is good...my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my guide reliable, my mission clear and my power sufficient. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted, distracted, deterred or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,
hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, wilt in the heat of the battle or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up, or burn up until
I’ve preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, worked up and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. I walk in good company; I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, stay until all go and work until He stops. And when He comes to get His own, He’ll have no trouble recognizing me...my colors will be clear!
Amen

“The Fellowship of the Unashamed." Evidently the author of this work was a Rwandan man who in 1980 was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face certain death. He refused to renounce Christ and was killed on the spot. The night before his death, the man wrote "The Fellowship of the Unashamed," (shared below). Bob Moorehead published this in his book "Words Aptly Spoken."

Best book I’ve read this year. Insightful and convicting. Each chapter was unique, but had value. Solid writing with meaningful stories, illustrations and scriptural references though-out. Highly recommend.

Excellent, challenging book on what it means to be a man of integrity.

Bought this book after I visited the memorial of flight 93 and Pennsylvania. I saw that the guy who said let’s roll. Just read this book with his Bible study. I wanted to read it too. Great book and very inspiring. Written for men, but read as a hu-man and wife.
