Synopsis & Historical Value

'n Tyd vir Vasberadenheid, subtitled Respek begin by die huis, is the Afrikaans edition of a novel by Randy Alcorn, published in 2011 by Christelike Uitgewersmaatskappy of Vereeniging. It is a novel adapted from the film Courageous, and it carries photographs from the film and a message from the film-makers.

The story follows four lawmen who give their best in their work yet realise that being good-enough fathers falls short. When tragedy strikes, they are forced to face their fears, their faith and their role as fathers, and to draw closer to God and to their children.

The book includes discussion questions, which suits it to group and church study as well as to individual reading. It is a collectible used copy of an Afrikaans Christian novel and an interesting example of a film tie-in translated for South African readers.
