Christian publishers and suppliers are releasing several products related to Courageous—from the makers of the hit movie and best-selling DVD Fireproof—which will release Sept. 30.

Based on the screenplay by Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Courageous: A Novel—to be released by Tyndale House Publishers in August—has been written by best-selling author Randy Alcorn. The story addresses fatherhood through the lives of four police officers.

On Sept. 1, B&H Books will simultaneously release English and Spanish versions of The Resolution for Men by the Kendrick brothers and The Resolution for Women by Priscilla Shirer. The books challenge men and women to become as bold and intentional about embracing their responsibilities as leaders of their homes, marriage and children.

On the same day, B&H Books will also publish Courageous Living by Michael Catt, senior pastor of Courageous' film-making brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick's home church, Sherwood Baptist Church, in Albany, Ga. Executive producer of Fireproof and Courageous, Catt offers insight to stories of people in the Bible "who displayed great courage when it would have been easier to play it safe," B&H Books said. Along with Kendrick brothers, Catt also wrote the Courageous Living Bible Study and Courageous Campaign Kit, to be released by B&H Publishing Group on Sept. 1.

In September, gift supplier DaySpring is releasing wall art featuring a plot device from Courageous. The Resolution, a commitment-pledge to lead and serve their families signed by the lead characters in Courageous, will be available in a frame with family picture photo spot and printed prepacks for group distribution. In addition, DaySpring will be bringing out a Courageous-themed DayBrightener calendar with movie quotes, inspirational sayings and scriptures, and greeting cards.

Leading apparel company Kerusso has released the Courageous T-shirt, which says "Honor Begins at Home! As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15."
