Award-winning Author, S. E. Gregg, Likens the Christian Life to the Olympic Games in this book:

Aug. 23, 2008 - PRLog -- The Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns  , unveils the Bible’s comparison of the Christian life to the Olympic games.
And just as the participants in the Olympics are competing to come in first place, Gregg encourages believers to strive to win the gold prize in the Christian race even as Paul encourages the believers in I Corinthians 9:24: “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”


But, sad to say, many Christians are falling by the wayside. Many have lost all hope of ever living a victorious life in Christ. Many Christians don’t feel that living holy lives matters anymore and have dropped out of the Christian race. Others are still running, but have already given up on winning the ultimate prize. Many have become discouraged in their daily walk with the Lord, because they have allowed personal problems, suffering, and world events to cause them to lose focus.

S.E. Gregg recognized this loss of spiritual fervor in the hearts of many Christians and was inspired by God to help ignite the spiritual flames once again, and to help get believers back into the Christian race. Taking to heart the words in Hebrews 12:1: “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us”, Gregg encourages believers to not look at the negative circumstances around them, but to look forward and to press forward to the blessings that lay ahead as a reward for finishing the race.
