I just finished Constant Forward Motion: The Running Of The Lymphoma Ultra Series, by C. Craig Burns. Craig is a friend from seminary, and has served as an inspiration to me over the last few years of knowing him.
In the last few months he has self-published a book chronicling his story over the last several years dealing with lymphoma and depending on the Lord Jesus Christ for strength to undertake long distance running as a means to raise money for missions around the world. By running marathons and ultra-marathons (40k, 50k, 50 milers) he has used his constant forward motion to raise thousands of dollars to help Cancer research for children, redeem teenage girls from sex trafficking in India (projectrescue.com), and build Bible schools in Africa for the training of Christian leaders (priorityonemissions.com)
I'm looking forward to publishing a review of this book very soon so stay tuned. I picked it up Thursday evening and finished it today it is very compelling.
