Press On: Stories of Endurance, Faith, and Trust as You Run the Race of Life

by Jennifer McAlister

Overview

After watching the bombs explode in front of her at the Boston Marathon finish line, Jennifer was painfully aware how mere seconds mattered between life and death. It was then that she understood how God is both the God of eternity as well as the God of our moments.

Life can feel like a race with twists, turns, uphill climbs, downward descents, and long stretches of highway. From the big explosion days to the monotonous and quiet ones, the stories of endurance, faith and trust will inspire you to press on and never give up as you run the race of life.
