Synopsis

This book offers inspiration and encouragement for running the marathon of life, which not only is the longest and hardest race to run, but also the most eternally significant. The book’s biblical foundation is 2 Timothy 4:7: “I have run the great race; I have finished the course; I have kept the faith.” In these final words to Timothy, his “beloved son in the ministry,” Paul compared the Christian journey to the world’s best-known race in that day, the first marathon in Greece. In her warm and inviting style, Nell Mohney suggests how that race is a marvelous analogy for Christians running the marathon of life, giving us a new perspective on the incredible privilege of being in the race. Using illustrations from biblical and contemporary events, she shares practical ways to “run the great race, finish the course, and keep the faith.” Questions are provided at the end of each chapter to help individual readers and groups “dig a little deeper.”
