I am NOT a seasoned runner, but I have done enough to be intrigued by the concept of a running/walking devotional. There is absolutely no doubt that if you run or workout regularly, this would be a fantastic book to encourage you to make the most of your time - great tips, inspiring quotes and a space for journaling.
What surprised me is how applicable this devotional is for non runners. Each easy to read chapter used an illustration from running to point to an inspiring or encouraging biblical truth - that I think even the most sedentary reader could relate to (although you may find yourself inspired to pull on your running shoes!)
So whether you have a runner in your life, or simply want a fantastic devotional that is practical empowering and relatable, then grab a copy for the Christmas stockings (and maybe a good pair of running socks!)

I am not a runner or a walker but I have enjoyed perusing Dorina Gilmore Young’s newest release “Walk, Run, Soar”.
A 50 day devotional. This isn’t your typical one verse, a couple of hundred words and then journaling prompt type devotional.
Yes, it does start with a Scripture as a base, and yes there is an essay using a life moment, training or race story. Dorina also infuses Biblical themes and stories in them as well.
Each devotion closes out with a “Faith Step”. Action steps to take, either something to ponder or a journaling prompt. Not all have to do with running.
There are “Inspiration Moment” in each devotion too. Notable quotes by coaches, athletes, other runners. There are a few non-sports notables as well.

Her husband Shawn comes in with training tips each day and there is a weekly log each day to note your miles and whatever else you want to include about your workouts.

This is not just a devotional for runners, there are a few appendices in the back of the book. Essentially, “how to train” sections. Whether you are training for a 5k, a 10k or something else.

I think it’s a lovely devotional, whether you are a runner or not. I could still relate to the essays.
