Run To The Son

By
Woody Green

of RUNNERS NICHE

If you are of the Christian faith and looking for a book of "devotional" style, "Run to the Son" may be of interest to you. Author Jerry Snider presents a format that is a bit on the non-traditional side, with the 26 chapters being one for each of the 26 miles of a marathon. Here the running connection pretty much ends, though. The interesting tid-bits, each reflecting back to a particular gospel verse, are not primarily running related. I have to say that I wasn't always convinced of the correlation between the story and the verse, but found the reading worthwhile all the same. Each chapter has a sort of Readers Digest feel to it, being short and often humorous or intended to pull on the heartstrings. "Run to the Son" is an easy, light read intended to lift the reader's spirit.

Runner's Niche Book Rating: 3 out of a possible 5 winged feet.

(Available from Paper Moon Publishing, ISBN number: 09653027-6-8)
