The Race of My Life: To God be the Glory

This book was written primarily to share a story of God's grace and love. The book is both inspirational and informative. As a point of reference, in the first chapter, I give the reader information regarding my background in terms of growing up as a Christian and my passion for sports and exercise. Additionally, I share a little of my goal-oriented personality. As the chapters progress, I take the reader on a course that begins with making the decision to begin running as a form of exercise. I share information on specific training programs one can follow for various stages of development. For example, I initially discuss training for a 5K (3.1 miles) race. I continue to develop training programs and racing strategies for longer races. I accomplish this promotion of information in the context of sharing stories of various events encountered by myself and with my running group. Throughout each chapter, I draw a parallel between running, racing or exercising to our walk with God. The story culminates in preparing for and running my first marathon race. I share how God was very much present with me that day. In an appendix, I provide useful exercises one can perform to gain strength and develop a lean body.
