The Right Fight by John Vaughan

The Right Fight by John Vaughan

What is the opposite of love? Many would say hate, but studying the Bible reveals that it is actually fear. Fear leads us to make harmful decisions and live unproductive, unhappy, and unfruitful lives. Love is the key to a fruitful life, but love must be more than a feeling. Love must be an action, a choice. Choosing love over fear is the most powerful choice we can make.
Kenny Vaughan brings this timeless discussion back to the forefront of our spiritual exploration by teaching us to view life as a fruit-bearing tree. When we feed the roots with love, the tree flourishes, and we enjoy the blessings that grow upon it. If we deprive our roots, however--if we allow fear to cut us off from love--then the whole tree withers and dies. Utilizing both Scripture and anecdotes from modern life, The Right Fight teaches us how to tend our roots, grow our fruit, and, through the grace of God, cast fear out for good.

Kenny Vaughan is a husband, a father of three, a world-class athlete, and a servant of Jesus Christ. Over the years, he has been featured in a number of interviews with national media, inspiring tens of thousands across the country.
Growing up, Kenny learned to waterski, to hunt and fish, to understand God's perfect love, and to honor God, country, and family. For fifteen years, he chased his dream of winning the national waterski long-jump championship, and, bolstered by the scriptures scrawled on his ski tow-rope handles, he achieved his dream against all odds. Vaughan took the scriptures that inspired him that day and had them inscribed on dog tags. Kenny founded Shields of Strength, a company that distributes inspirational scripture engraved upon dog tags and other jewelry. The necklaces have become popular with professional and aspiring athletes--including Olympians, military personnel, law enforcement, students, and adults from all walks of life who find encouragement in scripture to face life's challenges.
Vaughan's first book, Shields of Strength: One Man's Victory over Fear and What It Has Meant for America, was published in 2010 by Brown Books. The Right Fight: How to Live a Loving Life turns its focus to fear's polar opposite: pure, unselfish love for others.
Kenny Vaughan lives in Southeast Texas, near Beaumont, with Tammie, the love of his life, and their three children.
