About this ebook

Bestselling author Steve Farrar has good news for the average man: it doesn't matter if you've had a great start in the Christian life, or a rough one. It doesn't matter if you've stumbled time and again, or even fallen flat on your face. What matters most in this all-important race of life is how you finish. According to Farrar, the man who hangs in there for the long haul with his wife, his kids, and his Lord is an exception these days. Finishing Strong, now in trade paperback, offers lively use of Scripture, contemporary illustrations, and study questions to equip every reader to be that exception. For the man who wants to climb the character ladder more than the corporate one, this is an essential tool.

Every leader who want to ascend to greatness and not fall along the way must read through this book. It provide clues to how to overcome the tactics of the devil. It is particularly revealing in the areas of our attitude to money and opposite sex. It is emphatic on integrity. Andrew Abah, Grace Foundation Inland Mission

This book is great! Down to earth, entertaining, and easy to read. I saw Steve speak at a gridiron conference last year and have since become a big fan of his ministry. What I like most about this book is the author's acknowledgement that he doesn't know everything. He illustrates this by discussing experiences of others, both failure and successes, as well as including brief excerpts from resources that he read in the past. The race of life is not a sprint, it's a marathon. Steve points out that even the strongest men of faith have stumbled, tripped, pulled a hammy, or fallen flat on their face. That doesn't matter. What matters is what happens from now to the finish line. Finishing Strong is an excellent resource that focuses men on the finish line that God intended. This book should be added to the men's reading list at every church!
