STRONG AND COURAGEOUS:

A DEVOTIONAL FOR MEN In The BATTLE

Today, Strong and Courageous: A Devotional for Men in the Battle by Les G. Tripp offers a powerful, scripture-based guide to help men deepen their relationship with God, embrace their calling as leaders, and become courageous disciples of Christ. Drawing inspiration from Joshua’s steadfast leadership and unwavering faith, these devotional challenges men to face life's battles with strength and conviction, guided by God's word.

Tripp's new book invites men to reflect on Joshua 24:14-15, where Joshua declares, "But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." With this as the foundation, Strong and Courageous calls men to consider the battles they face in their personal spiritual journey and the responsibility to lead others into a stronger relationship with the Lord.

Each devotional in Strong and Courageous explores significant moments from the life of Joshua, offering insights on discipleship, faith, overcoming obstacles, and answering God's call. With practical applications to everyday life, the book helps men engage in their own battle for the souls of men and equips them to live out their faith in meaningful ways.

Each devotional section includes:

• A detailed reflection on the actions of Joshua and the Israelites.

• Practical application for contemporary men in today's world.

• Questions to reflect on one’s walk with God and role in disciple-making.

• A related New Testament scripture to reinforce the teaching.

• A closing thought prompting the reader to respond as a faithful disciple.

Strong and Courageous not only challenges men to deepen their personal commitment to Christ, but it also empowers them to lead others—whether in their homes, churches, or communities—toward a life of obedience, surrender, and spiritual strength.

Les G. Tripp, a seasoned Men's Ministry Coach, brings his vast experience in discipling men to this devotional. With over ten years of ministry leadership and a significant role on the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) Men's Ministry Leadership Team, Tripp has been instrumental in developing resources and programs that support men in their faith journeys.

"I wrote Strong and Courageous with the desire to equip men to take up their calling as leaders of faith," says Tripp. "Joshua's story is not just a historical account—it's a model for how we can live boldly for the Lord today, in the midst of life's battles."
