Running the Race & Maturity
Running the Race: You may be familiar with Eric Liddell from the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. The movie tells the remarkable story of his victory in the 400-meter race at the 1924 Paris Olympics—a timeless moment in sporting history.
Most biographies focus either on Liddell the athlete or Liddell the missionary. In Running the Race, author John Keddie brings the two together. This complete portrait reveals an ordinary man who served God in an extraordinary way, and whose adventurous life was marked by deep faith, great humility, and stunning athletic success.
Liddell’s inspiring life story encourages us to prioritize faithfulness to God above all earthly endeavors.
Maturity: How do we reach the level of Christian maturity to which Paul refers in his letter to the Colossians? Sinclair Ferguson, pastor, theologian, and longtime friend of Alistair Begg, gives us a roadmap for developing a mature faith.
Maturity: Growing Up and Going On in the Christian Life takes us lovingly and thoroughly through the steps and pitfalls on the journey to Christian maturity. In twelve chapters, the book explains how to be on the alert for symptoms of faith decay, how to overcome temptation and cope with suffering, and how to press on patiently and diligently to the end.
Rich in biblical content, Maturity helps us understand that "there is much more to the Christian life than any of us imagine at the beginning of it--perhaps dauntingly more, but at the same time exhilaratingly and wonderfully more."
