By Chris Meikel

I am a runner. I am a Christian.

26.2 is a familiar number for virtually every runner. And whether youre a seasoned marathoner or you hope to run a marathon someday, you will enjoy 26.2 A Marathon of Christian Devotions. Author Chris Meikel shares his love for running and for Gods word through a series of just over twenty-six devotionals. They include stories of runners, as well as his own personal experiences and adventures, which span more than forty years. Youll see the parallels he draws between your walk with Christ and your daily training. He points out how the simplicity of Gods word can help us to deal with the complexities of life. And just as running has brought change to your physical body, a Spirit-filled life can bring about great change in you now and for eternity.
