Publisher's summary

I can think of nothing worse than getting to the end of life and realizing I didn't live up to my full potential - that I could have lived a more complete life with all the impact God always intended. 1 Corinthians 9:24 tells us to each run the race set out before us, to get after it regardless of the obstacles we'll face in this world. This verse has a more personal and powerful meaning than you may realize. The stories and truths within this book, most with Uganda as the backdrop, are intended to inspire and move you into action as you run this life's race, often against overwhelming odds. It is my prayer this book inspires you to run with all you have - and that you get to your true finish line!

Quick but impactful!

This book was a great mix of inspiring stories, lessons on grit and resilience, current events and a sprinkle of sports. You don’t have to be super religious to understand the references to scripture. The author is funny and honest- he’s not the hero of every story so it doesn’t feel like a self help book. But it is encouraging, motivating and may light a fire in your belly.

Life Changing and Inspirational

This book is motivating and life changing. The author uses his live experiences to motivate people to live a more meaningful life with Christ’s strength. He helps you think about pushing past your normal life to live a more challenging but more content and productive life as a Christian. I would recommend this book to anyone in any stage of their life.

This book will touch your heart, mind,body & soul!

Inspiring and will want you to run your race for life to win! Enjoy this book!

Great Christian Book to Live Your Life to its Fullest

Loved this book and author. Love the scriptures, real life examples and honest thoughts the author shared. Highly recommend this book.

If you need some inspiration on how to live your best life, stop and listen to this amazing book!

I absolutely loved this book! It is filled with so much wisdom, encouragement and motivation to not just coast through life, but to live it to the fullest every single day! I have had the privilege of going to Uganda and meeting Hannington and so many other incredible, world-changing people, including author of this book! I can honestly say it enormously changed the way that I look at the world and live my life! Patrick Youngs is a born storyteller and accurately conveys the beauty, heartache, joy and sorrow that is a part of peoples’ daily lives in Uganda. He shows how taking advantage of every opportunity, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can lead to significant growth of character and make a huge impact on the lives of so many others!
This book is filled with stories of ordinary people who took the initiative to step out of their comfort zones and fill needs they saw around them, leading to a ripple effect of blessings on so many other people. I finished this with renewed determination to run this race that God set before me to the best of my ability and trust that He will use that effort to impact the world around me!

Adrenaline for your soul

Read or listen to this book. It is like a shot of adrenaline to your soul! Well done Patrick!!! So proud of you!! Andy Blakeslee #21

Wonderfully Crafted!

As I listened to Patrick narrate this beautiful work, I was moved to tears several times. It is clear that these words were inspired by the Holy Spirit to move us all to run the race that each of us has been given. It’s true, we must all work together to help further the message of the Cross, but it goes far deeper as we experience our individual races that God has given us. I so enjoyed this work, and I have been challenged by the words of my friend, Patrick Youngs.

Authentic & Inspiring!

I found myself instantly pulled in to the story and content of this fabulous book. Patrick Youngs is the real deal and it shows through in his life and testimony. I am so challenged reading this book to not settle, not play it safe, not let up...but rather to fulfill what God has called us to in His Word. To finish the race, to preach the Gospel and to love those around us with all our hearts. I’m excited to have my entire family read this book, thank you Patrick!!

Run Your Race - excellent read & awe inspiring

Loved the passion, love and determination these stories shared. Really makes you stop and think what is truly possible! Thank you Patrick for sharing these stories and insights! Hope to hear more from you! Stay blessed!

Just what we need to shake off this pandemic funk.

Patrick is great storyteller. There's a lot to take away from this quick read/listen, even for (maybe especially for) folks like me who are not religious. I finished this book with a renewed energy to get out there and make the most of my life.
