Publisher's Synopsis
Spiritual wisdom from a stroke survivor who discovered a deeper connection with God through running.
Austen Hardwick suffered three strokes in his forties. Running had always been part of his life, but now he was running to get his brain functioning again. As he started to regain fitness he realised that running created the space to process what had happened to him, and that it gave him space to be with God.
Weaving together personal testimony and biblical teaching, Austen shows how running is a metaphor for the Christian life, and how we can learn to live life in all its fullness. Through suffering and trials, we have an ever present God who wants to know us and love us.
In a culture when we are urged to do more exercise, this is a timely reminder that running can actually be both good for the heart and the soul.
