Risk Is Right: Better to Lose Your Life Than to Waste It


<p>A choice lies before you: <b>Either waste your life or live with risk.</b> Either sit on the sidelines or get in the game. After all, life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didn’t promise it would be any easier for his followers. We shouldn’t be surprised by resistance and persecution. Yet most of us play it safe.</p> <p>We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we prefer to be entertained. We are all tempted by the idea of security, the possibility of a cozy Christianity with no hell at the end. But what kind of life is that really? It’s a far cry from adventurous and abundant, from truly rich and really full, and it’s certainly not the heights and the depths Jesus calls us to.</p> <p>Discover in these pages a foundation for fearlessness. Hear God’s promise to go with you into the unknown. And let <b>Risk Is Right</b> help you see the joys of a faith-filled and seriously rewarding life of Jesus-dependent abandon!</p> <p>Previously published as chapter 5 of John Piper's best-selling book <b>Don't Waste Your Life.</b></p>
