Physical development through distance running and spiritual development through prayer are both tremendously exciting processes. They lead to health, strength, fulfillment, and a deeper experience of life. Running and prayer can work together to bring us in tune with ourselves and the world around us and open us to the reality of God's presence and action in our lives. This book is about the similarities, connections, and interplay between distance running and prayer. It explores how running can be a gateway to prayer and how both can profoundly benefit us.
