<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Using examples from the Bible, from his own life, and from the lives of contemporary people, MacDonald identifies the characteristics of resilience, leading readers through the self-assessment needed to develop them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"It makes little difference how fast you can run the 100 meters when the race is 400 meters long. Life is not a sprint; it is a distance run, and it demands the kind of conditioning that enables people to go the distance."--Gordon MacDonald <strong>Running Strong</strong><strong> </strong>Whose heart doesn't leap at the sight of a beautifullyconditioned runner, effortlessly gliding along, stride-bystride, mile-by-mile? And what runner gets to this place without a thankless--and often lonely--regimen of strategy and self-denial? Isn't this the perfect metaphor of what your heart is longing for--running life's race with intentionality and grace? With strength and focus? Well, you can. Veteran pastor and best-selling author Gordon MacDonald says you must develop resilience--the courage and ability to get up when you fall, to keep running when you're bone-weary, and to keep your eye on the goal even in the murkiest moments. Using the backdrop of his own experiences as a champion runner, MacDonald demonstrates how resilient people <ul><li>Practice spiritual self-discipline to build stamina and grit;</li><li>Know what's up ahead, what obstacles they will likely face; and</li><li>Bond with special friends who share their commitment to finishing well.</li></ul>Because he has also run many long, punishing laps in the tough race of life, MacDonald is uniquely qualified to coach and encourage you in developing that resilient spirit--to weather adversity, to finish what you start, and to never be satisfied with anything short of God's best for you.
