Book Review: The Race - From Pit Row to Victory Lane by Rick Lemons

Get ready race car fans!

The Apostle Paul likened the Christian journey to that of a race; author Rick Lemons takes it up a notch and compares it to one of the most popular races of our generation: NASCAR. And just as Jesus used culturally relevant subjects to teach spiritual truths, Lemons also references the ordinary (pit crew) to represent the extraordinary (relationship with other believers).

Divided into two sections, Pit Stops and Pitfalls, Lemons successfully equips his readers with tangible tools for the road of life. Inspiring and encouraging along the way, The Race emphasizes the joy experienced during the journey and not just a victorious finish.

Readers will enjoy the NASCAR references, Lemons' storytelling, and spot-on biblical teaching scattered throughout the book. Rather than preaching at you, however, The Race reads more like an engaging conversation with a good friend.
