FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Award-winning
Author, S.E. Gregg, Makes Clear How the Christian Life
is Similar to the Olympic Games, in this New Book,
THE CHRISTIAN OLYMPICS: GOING FOR THE GOLD CROWNS
 Atl., March 3, 2008 – As you probably know, the 2008 Beijing Olympics are almost here and
athletes from all over the world will be competing against each other
for the ultimate medal – the GOLD. Award-winning author, S.E. Gregg, in
this latest book, 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.
Sad to say, however, 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 many
have become discouraged in their daily walk with the Lord, because they
are bombarded on every side by personal problems, suffering, and
worldly events.
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 look forward and to press forward to the blessings that
lay ahead as a reward for finishing the race.
The
Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns will help
you to:
* See yourself
as an Olympian and a victorious spiritual athlete.
* See yourself running in a spiritual Marathon.
* Discover who the Players are in the competitions.
* Understand the significance of being a Spectacle.
* Train for the competitions with spiritual exercises and discipline.
* Plan strategies and develop a Game Plan to win the competitions.
* Gear Up and get equipped for the competitions.
* Find Contentment with your own God given supernatural abilities.
* Learn how to do spiritual Boxing and Wrestling.
* Learn how to do Long Jumps over your spiritual Hurdles.
* Learn why suffering is a Spiritual Workout.
* Learn how to endure and be a Finisher.
* Find out what Gold Crown you have already earned.
Gregg strongly believes that when Christians see
themselves as
competitors in an Olympic game, they will gain a new understanding and
excitement for the Christian life.
