Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SISTER MADONNA BUDER is 80 years old, has run more than 340 triathlons, and doesn’t know what all the fuss is about. In The Grace to Race, she shares the no-nonsense spirit and deep faith that inspired her extraordinary journey from a prominent St. Louis family to a Catholic Convent and finally to championship finish lines all over the world. As a beautiful young woman, she became an elegant equestrian and accomplished amateur actress. But as she describes in this intimate memoir, she had a secret plan as early as 14: she wanted to devote her life to God. After being courted by the most eligible bachelors in her hometown, she chose a different path and became a Sister of the Good Shepherd. She lived a mostly cloistered life as a Nun until her late forties, when a Priest suggested she take a run on the beach. She dug up a pair of shorts in a pile of donated clothes, found a pair of second-hand tennis shoes, and had a second epiphany. This time, she discovered the spiritual joy of pushing her body to the limit and of seeing God’s natural world in all its splendor. More than thirty years later, she is known as the Iron Nun for all the triathlons she has won. Just five years ago, the age 75–79 category was created for her at the Hawaiian Ironman in Kona, where she completed a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a full 26.2-mile marathon in record time. Now she has set her sights on a new goal: inaugurating another new Ironman age group, 80–84, in 2010. Sister Madonna holds dozens of records, has broken dozens of bones, and tells of dozens of miracles and angels that propelled her to a far-flung race. "It is my faith that has carried me through life’s ups and downs," she writes. "Whenever injured, I wait for the Lord to pick me up again and set me on my feet, confidently reminding Him, ‘God, you know, my intent is to keep running toward you.’" The Grace to Race is the courageous story of a woman who broke with convention, followed her heart, and found her higher mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient," Christians often forget that grace is the predominant characteristic of their Christian experience and therefore tend to overlook how grace permeates every aspect of their life. Were it not for grace, we would still be lost in our sin, unwilling to or incapable of enjoying the benefits of a relationship with Jesus. I chose the word panoply to describe God's grace because grace is so overwhelmingly abundant and impressively available to the believer. God's grace is more than sufficient. It is abundantly available to all that belong to Him. There is a reservoir of grace that will never empty. Christ was saying there is nothing else that will compare with it, nothing else that will replace it, and nothing else that will embody it. Grace is sufficient because there is nothing that can be added to it, supplement it, or enhance it. Well written, interesting and easy to read. It presents a practical understanding and comprehensive application of grace to Christian believers' daily lives, written, at times, out of the crucible of personal experience. It serves as a wonderful tribute to your Dad, Dr. Lloyd Button's life and ministry. It also represents an incredible amount of careful thought and work. I found it to be both clear and captivating!

Book excerpt: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor, Kansas City Star. A profoundly moving and deeply personal memoir by the co-host of National Public Radio’s flagship program All Things Considered. While exploring the hidden conversation on race unfolding throughout America in the wake of President Obama’s election, Michele Norris discovered that there were painful secrets within her own family that had been willfully withheld. These revelations—from her father’s shooting by a Birmingham police officer to her maternal grandmother’s job as an itinerant Aunt Jemima in the Midwest—inspired a bracing journey into her family’s past, from her childhood home in Minneapolis to her ancestral roots in the Deep South. The result is a rich and extraordinary family memoir—filled with stories that elegantly explore the power of silence and secrets—that boldly examines racial legacy and what it means to be an American.

Book excerpt: Too often, grace is treated as an afterthought, even though it is foundational. A proper understanding of grace is essential to our spiritual and emotional health. That’s why it’s crucial that we make space for grace. In this inspiring book, Art McNeese explores how Christians can move from a theory of grace to living a life of grace. The author draws on his observations of thousands of people who could say the right things but who seemed to lack an internalized reality of grace to answer questions such as: • How do you learn to experience grace in the deepest part of your soul? • How do you move grace from your head to your heart? • How can you practice a grace-filled life on a daily basis? • How can you exchange perfectionism for peace? “Masterfully, Art McNeese uses the art of the pen to paint a portrait of the beauty of God’s grace on a canvas of His love. Laymen and Pastors will find Making Space for Grace instructive, enjoyable, and helpful in applying God’s Amazing Grace.” — Dr. Donald Brake, PhD, Dean Emeritus, Multnomah Biblical Seminary “Delightful! That’s the word that comes to mind as I read Art McNeese’s book on Grace. This is a practical, inspiring, attitude-changing book. It will lift your mind and soul.” — Greg Pruett, President of Pioneer Bible Translators and author of Extreme Prayer
