Christianity is not a sprint. Not a quick jog around the block once a week. Christianity is a lifelong race that requires stamina, strength and staying power. But where does the power come from when we hit roadblocks, get lost or become discouraged?

John White says it comes from a life firmly grounded in the basic truths about God, Christ and the Bible. These truths can transform flabby Christians into people who witness openly, who mature steadily and who face obstacles to their Christian growth with courage and hope.

Encouragement for all who want to be disciples for the long run.

John White, former professor of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba, is a writer and speaker with a worldwide ministry. His many books include The Cost of Commitment, Daring to Draw Near and The Fight.
