“It has been said that when you get right down to it, there are about 20 people that truly hold this world together. Hazardous Saints takes a serious, studious, and enjoyable look at six of such people. Though not the names we usually hear, nor the people we most often study or celebrate, they are clearly among those foundational souls, without whom, we would not be the faith we are today. More than that, this study encourages the “ordinary” and abundant baptized, the band most of us walk with, to consider the importance of the work we are called to do on a daily basis, and the impact of the small act which may seem irrelevant, but in truth, changes everything.”—The Rt. Rev. Gregory H. Rickel, VIII Bishop of Olympia, Seattle, Washington"What the church desperately needs now are women and men who dare to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, no matter the cost. And here's where it can start. In this compelling and fascinating adult small group study, Dr. C. K. Robertson brilliantly introduces us to six historic—and history-making—persons who, as Chuck puts it, risked all and changed everything. Through his stimulating presentations and the creative study guide resources, any adult formation group will find this eye-opening and faith-stretching study to be a truly life-changing experience."—The Rev. Peter M. Wallace, producer and host of the "Day1" radio program and author of The Passionate Jesus: What We Can Learn from Jesus about Love, Fear, Grief, Joy and Living Authentically
