Run The Race That Is Set Before You
Words of Faith, Heartfelt Worship, Reckless Trust
When life throws us its worst, what we believe about God comes to the forefront. But what happens when the person we prayed for dies? The miracle doesn't come? The breakthrough came too late?
When Jessica's son was diagnosed with leukemia, her faith didn't waiver. In her mind, death was not an option.
When the unthinkable happened, Jessica faced a new challenge: how to make sense of the grief when it seemed like God hadn't kept His end of the bargain.
In this honest and gutsy book, Jessica Long wrestles with the issues of pain, suffering and disappointment, bringing a deeply biblical lens to some of life's most difficult questions:
- If God is all-powerful, why doesn't he fix the world?
- What difference does prayer really make?
-How do we keep going when fear has taken hold?
-Can our faith ultimately fail?
With grace and honesty, Jessica invites us to rethink how we see God when life doesn't turn out as we hoped, and to discover a way of believing that allows us to get back up and run again!
Because ultimately, this changes nothing.

"Having known Jessica for a number of years, I've witnessed how powerful the testimony of her life is and could only imagine how many people would be helped and encouraged by her written story. But even still, the depth an wisdom in these pages wowed me. Her story points a practical path toward healing after trauma and loss. There's a real and raw quality to Jessica's writing, forged in deep heartache, rooted in Scripture, with a genuine faith that refuses to give up, that is truly impactful. Jessica takes on the hard questions, and shows people of faith a response to heartache that is strong, Christ-centered, and --the best part--duplicatable!"
