Summary of Lopez Lomong & Mark Tabb's Running For My Life
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was six years old when the soldiers came to take me and my family to a concentration camp. I did not know it at the time, but my childhood had just ended. #2 I was traveling in an army truck with other children when the soldiers threw us out of the truck. I did not want to drop out of line, so I held on to the person in front of me. #3 I was marching along with the other children when we were suddenly brought into a one-room hut full of teenagers. I was relieved no one else in my family had been taken by the soldiers. #4 When the soldiers invaded my church, I thought that was me being taken away. But the boys explained that I had been recruited by force to become a soldier. I was not alone. God had sent three angels to watch over me.

The Sacred Acre
On a Sunday in May 2008, an F-5 tornado struck the town of Parkersburg, Iowa, killing eight people and destroying 250 homes and businesses within 34 seconds. The next day, Parkersburg's beloved football coach, Ed Thomas, made a stunning prediction: "God willing, we will play our first home game here on this field this season." One hundred days later, the home team scored a victory on the field they dubbed "The Sacred Acre," serving as a galvanizing point for the town to band together and rebuild. But just as Parkersburg was recovering, another devastating tragedy struck. While working with a group of football and volleyball players early one morning, one of Ed's former students walked in and gunned him down point blank. Ed Thomas was 58. The murder of this hometown hero spread across national news headlines. Ed's community and family reeled from shock. Yet the story doesn't end here. What happened next proves that even a double tragedy is no match for faith, love ... and the power of forgiveness.
Living with Less
The author says: "The only way to get more out of life is to choose less. Less stuff. Less activity. Less wanting more. Less of you."

But the game he ...

Convicted
WINNER OF THE CHRISTOPHER BOOK AWARD • “A must-read for anyone who longs for the day when the dividing lines of race, class, and bigotry are finally overcome by the greater forces of love, forgiveness, and brotherhood.”—Rev. Samuel Rodriguez Racial tensions had long simmered in Benton Harbor, a small city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, before the day a white narcotics officer—more focused on arrests than justice—set his sights on an innocent black man. But when officer Andrew Collins framed Jameel McGee for possession of crack cocaine, the surprising result was not a race riot but a transformative journey for both men. Falsely convicted, McGee spent three years in federal...
