Those who love those who go also suffer. This book is for them, too. </p><p>Weaving together Scripture, her story, and stories of both those who go and those who send, Kate considers why God calls us to dangerous places and what it means for all involved.</p><p>It means dependence. It means loss. It means a firmer hold on hope. It can mean death, trauma, and heavy sorrow. But it can also mean joy unimaginable. Through suffering, we come closer to the heart of God. </p><p>Written with the weight of glory in the shadow of loss, <i>Why God Calls Us to Dangerous Places </i>will inspire Christians to count the cost--and pay it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b><p>"Perhaps that's the greatest reason why He calls us to dangerous places: so that we will know His astonishing, sacrificial, life-restoring love."</p></b><p>Weaving together Scripture, her story, and the testimonies of others, Kate McCord explores what is lost and what is gained when we follow God at any cost.

She makes a compelling case for followers of Christ entering dangerous places with abandon. She offers comfort for those who send and courage for those who go. Her understanding is no dry and dusty theological system divorced from life. This book will disturb, enlighten, and inspire you to follow Christ wherever He leads.</p><p>--Charles W.
