Running Well or Running Ragged?

Imagine competing in the Olympic marathon. Imagine sprinting across the finish line. Hard to imagine, you say? Perhaps. Yet, life is not a spectator sport. God doesn't want you to stay on the sidelines. Instead, God wants you to follow His Son, Jesus Christ, in an exciting journey of faith and service. How can you run well and finish strong? Wouldn't it be great to have some time-tested training strategies? That's what this book is all about. Running Well or Running Ragged? gives you five Christ-centered strategies to run the race of your life. Designed for both individual and small group use, this book focuses on the five life-changing directives given by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 in his Great Commission. Within each chapter a running theme flavors an introductory "Warm Up," preparing you to journey forth into the biblical and practical insights of "Reflections on the Run." Each of the twelve chapters conclude with "Stretching" discussion questions and life-application outlines.
