The Triathlete's Devotional: Lessons in Faith, Endurance and Perseverance - Hardcover

by Tiffany Woods (Author), Courtney Myers (Editor)

The hours an athlete gives to swim, bike, and run do not have to compete with a walk with God. They can become part of it. In The Triathlete's Devotional, IRONMAN(R) World Championship finisher and endurance coach Tiffany Woods draws on nearly two decades of training and racing to show endurance athletes that the sport they love can be a place to meet God. Thirty-two devotions each open with a true story from the racecourse, then turn to Scripture (NIV), guided reflection questions, journal space, and a closing prayer. The devotions take on the athlete's real interior life: open-water fear and pre-race anxiety, rest and recovery as holy rather than guilty, worth and body image, injury and the DNF, comparison, and the finish line as a picture of something greater. Written for Christian triathletes at every distance and for the runners, cyclists, and swimmers who train beside them, it is equally at home in a transition bag and on a church book table, and it makes a natural gift for race season.
