Running Life's Race:
Stories of Sports and Faith for All Seasons
"Dr. Henkel digs deep to find the inspiration in stories. Running Life's Race is a fun and fascinating read. What I most appreciate is the illustration of biblical truths. Each story includes reflective questions and a thoughtful prayer--a powerful way to apply ideas to one's life. I highly recommend Dr. Henkel's book as a great resource for FCA Huddles or other groups, and even as a personal devotional."

"What is better than learning about God's faithfulness and provision through stories? In Running Life's Race, Dr. Henkel does a wonderful job of bringing biblical teaching to the realm of sports. Sports teach us so much about life--who we are and who we can become. Combine that with the characteristics of God and you have an incredible opportunity to live in community with our Creator."

"Influencing the hearts and attituds of young student athletes is increasingly inportant in today's culture. This book provides educators and coaches with inspirational true stories that enhance teaching about character. I have enjoyed using Steve Henkel's prior faith-based stories for class devotions in grades 6-12 and anticipate doing the same with Running Life's Race."
