The cynical debunkers of heroism should themselves be debunked. In this engaging and provocative book, Richard Keyes offers a strong spiritual antidote for our culture's loss of heroes. In the life of Christ, he perceives an unparalleled sense of purpose, love, forgiveness, courage, endurance, and service. Those who seek to imitate the heroic qualities of Christ, Keyes claims, will never attain his perfection. They can, however, find in Christ forgiveness, hope, and the incentive to become heroes themselves.
Keyes also looks at heroic parents, and provides practical wisdom for fractured families.
