Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: It's Never Too Late to Pursue God's Best
Like about 67 million other people my age and weight, I'm going to get back in shape. I really am. Don't laugh; I'm serious about this. In fact, I've begun a new daily routine. I happen to live near the ocean, and so at some point each day that I'm not

Chapter 1: Longing for a Fresh Start
The longer you live, the greater your chances of running out of steam. Call it fatigue, call it disappointment, call it bad luck ... the energy just isn't there anymore. People wake up one day and realize they're just plodding through life feeling stuck.



Book Description

Fresh Fuel for Running the Good Race.

At times we all feel as if we can't go on. Our dreams have faded or crashed. We wake up one day and realize we're just plodding through life. We've embraced life, but still we wonder what "might have been?" What happened to our hopes and plans for stronger relationships, greater career success, and lasting achievements? Why have we settled for what is instead of striving for what could be?

When these conditions or other dilemmas leave you feeling trapped, you are an ideal candidate for one of life's great surprises - a "second wind."

God wishes to give you such dramatic turnarounds in many areas of life. Just when you think you can't go on, you can tap into the wellspring of God's power and allow him to give your life a "jump start." With this newly discovered energy, you can stop your plodding and once again run the race of life with a spirit of exhilaration and joyous abandon.
