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 \u003cstrong\u003eRunning Strong\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eWhose 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 \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice spiritual self-discipline to build stamina and grit;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnow what's up ahead, what obstacles they will likely face; and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBond with special friends who share their commitment to finishing well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eBecause 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780785287919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Gordon MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917020729525,"sku":"9780785287919","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bd9c2f3e-02a9-4c18-be28-9dd62bdcd66c.jpg?v=1687275623","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-resilient-life-you-can-move-ahead-no-matter-what-9780785287919","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
