Publisher's Synopsis
Grace in Motion: Discovering God on the Run is a captivating spiritual memoir that blends the rhythm of running with the profound journey of faith. Written by Fr. Vincent F. Pineda, a Catholic priest and endurance runner, this inspiring book explores how physical movement becomes a pathway to deeper spiritual understanding and connection with God.
Through four compelling parts, Fr. Vince shares his personal story, beginning with his discovery of running at age 47 and drawing parallels between ancient biblical runners-like Moses and Jonah-and modern spiritual journeys. From the challenges of preparation and training to finding your "happy pace" in life, Grace in Motion offers practical and heartfelt insights into the ways running and faith intertwine.
Discover:
- How sacred spaces can be found in everyday running routes (The Moving Monastery).
- The power of community in both running and faith, with stories from groups like "The Bossleague" and "OneTribe Multisport."
- How setbacks, such as a "DNF" (Did Not Finish), can become "Divine New Foundations" leading to unexpected blessings.
- The importance of rest and recovery as acts of trust and grace.
Enriched with Trail Markers (key insights), Sacred Pauses (running prayers), and Rest Stops (reflection questions), Grace in Motion is more than a memoir-it's a guide to discovering God's presence in every step, mile, and breath.
Whether you're a runner seeking deeper meaning in your practice or a spiritual seeker looking for fresh ways to connect with your faith, this book will inspire you to embrace life's detours, trust in God's timing, and transform your journey into one of grace.
