The Courage Factor: Taking Bold Steps that Lead to Joy
Based on Jesus's Parable of the Talents, The Courage Factor challenges readers to think of their lives as a priceless commodity that can be leveraged for positive impact. In reflecting on the ups and downs of his own journey, Bob exposes the fear that keeps us isolated, causing us to lock up our gifts and dreams. Instead of having a positive impact on the world with our talents, we are left frustrated and unfulfilled. But if we have the courage to pursue our dreams-investing our lives and talents into something meaningful-what results is true joy and fulfillment. Throughout The Courage Factor, readers will meet inspiring individuals with stories that illustrate how even our dark moments and detours can prepare us for significance if we embrace courage and step forward in faith. Discover the potential we each have to unlock and accelerate the dreams and talents of those around us. In key moments of decision, pivotal moments where fear and courage do battle, learn to recognize these moments for what they are, defeat fear, and turn risk into reward. Courageous and fully invested people can change the world, and you can be one of them."

I received an ARC from Leafwood Publishers, via NetGalley. This review is my personal opinion.
This book is truly encouraging, Bob Westfall start telling his own story on how God gave him a dream and a vision and the challenges he had through the years. Taking the parables of talents he encourages us to believe, trust, dream and take action with what we have in our hands now and let God do the rest. In his book, he also shared the story of several of his friends and the impact those included by the grace of God are making a lasting impact on others. Many of us want to serve God, but we think we need to learn more about God, have more money, be more attractive. Bob Westfall encourages us to stop believing those lies and to believe that God already gave us what we need to start and that we won’t be alone in our road.

What a wonderful book that showcases how ordinary people made changes in their life to experience joy in their life. This book will help you determine ways to experience this joy. Very nice blueprint for help with this. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this reveiw.

Needed to hear this
This book was timely for me, as I’ve recently been given the responsibility to run an organization, and feel woefully under equipped. Thank you for the encouragement!

Really enjoyed this book. Based on the Parable of the Talents, the author was able to look at the different aspect in how we are to serve in the church and in our lives today. A good read and a good challenge in my life to first question and then to apply the concepts in my life. Would recommend it to my friends who are looking to make a change in their lives and to find that courage they have within themselves.
