The Christian life is a race. Through the gospel, God summons us to sustained and persevering effort. He empowers his children by grace - free and undeserved blessing through Christ. Christ, who blazed the trail before us, now calls us to follow Him to the end (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Looking unto Jesus - that is how we persevere. In him is everything we need. However, realistically speaking, Christians are not always pressing forward. Sometimes they wander off the narrow path, slip, and injure themselves. To the confused and injured runner, this book says, "God can help you. You can finish this race - and finish it well."?
Drawing from the wisdom of the Scriptures and aided by the insights of godly Bible teachers through the centuries, Getting Back in the Race addresses the age-old problem of backsliding.
"Pastoral wisdom is obvious on every page. Unfailingly breathes the air of grace and hope."
- Derek W. H. Thomas, Minister of Preaching and Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC
