“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” —Proverbs 28:1

In an age of fear, compromise, and cultural confusion, what does it mean to live with true Christian courage?

In Bold as a Lion, pastor and professor Matthew Everhard calls believers to recover the lost virtue of courage. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and the wisdom of church history, Everhard argues that we are living in an age of great cowardice—an era when many Christians have become silent in the face of moral chaos.

From COVID controversies to gender confusion and cultural hostility, believers have too often allowed the fear of man to rule their hearts. Yet the Bible calls us instead to the fear of the Lord—a holy reverence that produces conviction, not compromise.

This book unfolds as a commentary on Proverbs 28:1, exploring:

• The four types of fear that shape our lives—supernatural, natural, rational, and irrational
• Why cowardice cripples the church and silences truth-telling
• How courage takes form in the lives of the Disciple, the Prophet, the Philosopher, the Warrior, and the Martyr
• And how Jesus Christ stands as the supreme example of courage for all who follow Him

Both men and women are called to live boldly, faithfully, and fearlessly in an age of compromise. Bold as a Lion is a rallying cry to stand firm for the truth—no matter the cost.

If you desire to grow in courage, conviction, and steadfast faith, this book will challenge and inspire you to roar with the strength that comes from Christ alone.
