For the first time, experience the thrilling, mind-altering personal transformation journey of ultra-endurance athlete Greg Phillips, where he discovered his purpose and changed his life.
At 46, Hildee Weiss had perfected the art of putting herself last. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, she moved through life feeling worn down, invisible, and convinced that transformation belonged to other people—thinner people, younger people, braver people. Then one ordinary day, she asked herself a question that would rewrite everything she believed about who she could become: What if I tried?
Lazarus Lake has been called everything from a hillbilly genius to an evil mastermind to “the Willy Wonka of the Woods.” His Barkley Marathons are widely regarded as the most difficult and ingenious ultramarathons ever devised.
At 48 years old, out of shape and searching for a new purpose, Weiss took on his first 10K-an event that would spark a profound personal evolution. What began as a simple challenge soon turned into an extraordinary journey of endurance, perseverance, and self-discovery.
From those first devastating days in the ICU to finding unexpected moments of happiness years later, Josh shares how he transformed his daily runs into conversations with Erin's memory, how the trail-running community became an unlikely source of healing, and how living part-time in an RV van opened new paths to purpose.
In Running with God, Nicole B. Adams offers an honest and encouraging devotional for anyone who feels the tension between trusting God and fearing the unknown. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and the metaphor of physical training, she explores what it means to run the race of faith with perseverance—especially when the path feels slow, uncomfortable, or unclear.
More than just a sound-bite, Gospel-shaped Womanhood delves into what having a Jesus-centered identity really means and how it shapes our relationships, our service, our work, and our self-image.
