Lopez Lomong
I heard about this man. I am not sure where, but recently. I knew his story was amazing. Some how I missed it four years ago, and I wish I had not, I wish I watched the Beijing Olympics knowing what I know now. Either way, I knew I wanted to read this book.
However, I am a bit spoiled these days and do not buy a book very often (unless for schooling those kids of mine). If I read a book, it is usually a free book that I am to review after reading. 
God once again has blessed me with another book! I saw an ad in World Magazine for the first 200 people to sign up would get a free copy of Running For My Life. I {almost} ran to the computer to sign up and try to get it! And low and behold I did! So thrilled!! I started reading it that day and finished it today!!
Check out this video to see a bit about what I am raving about…
This is by far one of my most favorite books! The best book of 2012 –as far as I am concerned!!!
I loved this book! I loved Lopez’s message throughout the book that pointed back over and over to God’s hand in his life. I loved that he never lost hope or faith in God. I love that no matter what he was always optimistic and always praying.
I loved this book. I cried when I saw Lopez’s character shine through some of the worst moments. I laughed many times. And I renewed my faith in God’s people and all they can do.
This is an amazing book – I recommend it for anyone! I am passing it along to J as soon as he gets back from camp – and he is 11. I expect to let PJ read it when J is done. I hope that it will give my children a little bit more sense of all they have been given and encourage a sense of responsibility.
If you read anything in the next 5 months, please, please read this book!! It will inspire you on many levels!! And don’t miss watching him run in London in a week or so!!
To read more about Lopez and see more pictures check out his website www.LopezLomong.com/about – you will want to get a copy of this book as much as I did!!
NOTE : I am offering this opinion/review just because I loved this book so much, I have no obligation to review this book!
