There are a great many obstacles faced by Christian young people seeking to understand what it means to live for Jesus today and into their futures. Brave in the Making lights a path for those who are serious about following Jesus, equipping them to seek God, to look to the Bible for guidance and ask the right questions on what it means to be brave followers of Jesus Christ in a world that is always changing and at times can seem hostile to their faith journeys. This is a great resource both for youth leaders looking for engaging discussion topics as well as for young people to work through on their own. -Neale Meredith Principal & Dean of Students Australian College of Ministries Travis writes with an eagerness to encourage and empower young people who desire to live bravely for the sake of the Kingdom. Capturing stories of great bravery, both modern and from the Bible, he highlights the courage needed to be a follower of Christ. A brilliant read, and highly recommended to all who are daring to be brave. -Bethany Francis Teacher Pacific Hills Christian School Brave in the Making is a God-inspired recount of the lives of some who live today and some who lived in Bible times. Travis has combined parts of each of their stories to encourage both young and old to be brave and reach for all God has prepared for them. As you read this book may you hear God speak to you, as I did, and know that 'Jesus-here He comes' for you. -Coral Maxwell Principal Creek Street Christian College Our students need to hear this message: In a generation being conditioned to be 'risk-minimisers' Barnes inspires us to be brave, to dream big to fulfil our God-designed potential. One of the greatest needs of our current generation is to not accept the lie that average is good enough. Barnes reminds us we serve a mighty God able to do more than we can possibly imagine. We need a new generation of leaders willing to be brave to achieve great things rather than accept a dumbed-down life. Schools, youth-groups and youth should use this book to redefine their culture and potential. -Jeremy Dover Teacher Waverley Christian College A riveting exploration of Christlike courage in all its fullness. Brave in the Making will ignite Godly passion in the next generation. -Jay Johnstone Teacher Bayside Christian College I love Travis' stories-they are true, sporty and spot on. And the Bible principles accompanying each story are so appropriate. Can't wait to see how students and their parents use the stories for their bedtime stories, devotions and Bible Studies! A wonderful resource for staff and for families. -Phil Chapman Former Principal Olivet Christian College Brave in the Making is a toolkit for energising and equipping today's young people to follow Christ with confidence and courage. An action-packed read full of mind-boggling stories! -Rev. Dr. Mark Tronson Former Chaplain to the Australian Cricket Team
