In Supernatural Courage, Mickey Robinson explored the topic of tapping into the power of supernatural courage and this courage can only come from our Creator. He explained how the Holy Spirit is always there to help us through all of our circumstances. The world is constantly bombarded with fear and many of us struggle with how to handle and deal with our fears. Mickey looks at one of the commandments found in Joshua 1:9 about fear. This talks about how God commands us to be strong and courageous, and God is with us wherever we go. Some of the courage topics he looked at was, “hope, be humble, fight, strengthen yourself, use spiritual gifts, forgive, preserve”, and much more. In the book, he looked at Biblical examples how they handle supernatural courage from God and some of these included Jesus, Joseph, David, Paul, Peter, Joshua, to name just a few.
In the book, he shared how he discovered his career in becoming a professional skydiver. He loved to live in the moment and loved the thrill he felt in jumping out of planes. He shared a personal story about how his life changed. One day, he took a trip with four other skydivers and two of them were rookies. The engine quit and the plane ended up crashing. Mickey revealed he was on fire and he ended up suffering from third-degree burns over his whole body, loss of using his right hand, a brain contusion, and blindness in his right eye. In the weeks to come he was down to 93 pounds and he had multiple infections. The doctors gave him no hope and his body functions started to shut down. He describes how he felt like he was dying and how he realized the power of Christ’s spirit was alive in him. He felt God healing him and the same power that raised Jesus was inside him. He explained how he declared how he was going to walk out of the hospital again and how he experienced supernatural courage from Jesus and he was able to walk again. He also shared how he had supernatural courage in believing and commanding blood to flow in his right hand to help revive the use of his hand. Miraculously, his right hand was healed and the doctor couldn’t believe it. He also goes into details about the healing he experienced in his right eye and how God gave him hope and caused his spirit to rise alongside with the use of the Holy Spirit.
I would recommend this excellent book on supernatural courage to anyone who is ready to discover the keys in relying on God’s power to assist you in overcoming and facing whatever life throws at you. I immensely connected with all of the stories that Mickey shared and even through his personal pain he still believed God for His incredible power to guide and help him through whatever he faced. One of my favorite examples, he revealed was the story about forgiveness and how he had to practice this during a difficult time. His son Michael was born with cerebral palsy and they always believed God would bring them a miracle. When he was 12 years old, they took him to a top specialist to help him with his back and spine. The surgery didn’t work and caused him to lose many more functions of his body. He explained the hurt and the malpractice of the doctor and medical staff and how he had to choose to extend mercy and forgiveness. I also liked how each chapter included meditation scriptures and promises found in the Bible, prayer, activation statements, and a declaration to say over your life and circumstances.

I am not sure whether or not the author's personal angle, which was continually inserted into this book, ultimately helped or hindered the book in getting across its encouragement to believers to share the Gospel message with others regardless of how crazy one is considered in response. I must admit that not knowing a lot about the author or his life or the Jesus Freak movement that started in the 1970's, this book was at least helpful in presenting the author as having been a veteran of that music while encouraging a new generation to become Jesus freaks like dc Talk proclaimed they were back when I was in high school. Whether or not it will have that result, I do not know. I certainly found it an interesting book and with a lot that is worth praising, but at the same time this is not a book that I feel can simply be taken at face value, since the author's conception of courage as it relates to Christian evangelism and the Great Commission is far from uncontroversial even within the Christian world.
This work begins with a foreword by Michael W. and Debbie Smith, as well as acknowledgments and an introduction. From there the author discusses various sorts of courage that a believer can use in this world. The author speaks of the courage to hope in God, especially when things look tough (1). He speaks of the courage to follow Jesus in a world that seems to look very negatively at that (2). He speaks of the courage to be humble (3) when we are constantly prodded to be proud about ourselves, as well as the courage to fight (4) when we would rather give in. The author speaks of the courage to strengthen ourselves (5) in all aspects of our lives as well as to persevere in faith and belief (6). The author talks about the courage to use spiritual gifts even when others view them negatively (7) as well as the courage to succeed when it is all too easy to fail (8). After this the author talks about the courage to forgive (8) in a world of resentment, the courage to love (9) in a world of hate, especially towards believers, and the courage to go the distance in living a godly life (11), after which there is an index in a bit less than 200 pages.
The courage that we need to live godly lives as believers in this world must be supernatural because our own courage will fail us. This book does great service in reminding us of the complex aspects of supernatural courage that believers must practice. In addition, the author's own testimonials provide examples and case studies of the sort of courage that believers in the contemporary Western world can be expected to possess. Whether or not the author's approach to courage is appreciated or not by the reader will depend to a great extent on the level of overlap between the view of courage and the Great Commission that the reader brings to the table as opposed to that which the author presents. Personally speaking, I think there is likely to be more agreement on the wide extent of courage that the author presents than the specific view of evangelism that the author represents. Likewise, I think that there is a great deal more ambivalence about the Jesus Freak movement in the broader world of Christendom than the author himself appears to recognize, although I am not sure how that will affect the way this book is viewed or the specific market to which this book is pointed.

Mickey has a very powerful testimony in how God healed him. It is hard to refute someone’s personal story. He also shares many other stories of people who had powerful encounters with the Lord.
He shared a part of his story that really confused me. Someone who was not a believer sat next to him when he was in the hospital, Mickey says…”I could feel energy flowing from him into me.” This person was not a believer. I find it concerning that a believer would think it was a positive thing to feel some sort of “energy” from an unbeliever. If the person doesn’t know Christ how could the “energy” be good? I believe there could still be an energy but that would come from a new age way of thinking, not Jesus. As a believer I wouldn’t want to feel that from someone who doesn’t know Jesus. Just my thoughts.
There is a pretty big emphasis on getting gifts and that is the only way we can be fulfilled in Christ and do what Jesus wants, that makes us a “true disciple.” All I can say living that way has left me angry at God and frustrated with my lack of manifestation. I don’t think that is what makes someone a true disciple. A true disciple is someone who sees their sin and looks to the power of the cross for forgiveness and fulfillment.
A copy of this book was given to me by the publisher. All opinions are my own.
