Running With God
If you are a runner and a Christian this is a must read. In this series of inspirational and thought provoking essays, Berry Simpson takes the reader along on his spiritual journey of growth in God and faith in Christ. Simpson catches the essence of the solitude of running with the realization that one never runs alone but always has God at his side. The reader feels the road under his feet, experiences the pain of struggling to finish and the exhilaration of crossing the line victorious. All of this is written in a serious but light hearted manner that expresses the author's love of life, love of his family and friends and, most importantly his love for God. --F. Morgan, TexasI'm not a runner. Wouldn't pound my joints like that for money or for free. But this series of introspective essays reaches heart and soul and goes much deeper than whether or not you're going to hit the pavement (or the trail). In a few short pages, Berry Simpson made me laugh, and cry, and sigh, and smile. He paints a vivid picture of an "ordinary" human being with an "ordinary" family, who just happens to be following a clear and lifelong and extraordinary path toward God. And God speaks -- to Berry and to all of us -- in the simple, ordinary activity of running from here to there, day in and day out, year in and year out. A journey not to be missed!
