Far Beyond Gold: Running from Fear to Faith

Such a great read by the Olympian Sydney McLaughlin. She is truly an inspiration in her spiritual life, hard work and not giving up attitude. Really easy to follow along and understand, while also including stories from her life. Definitely giving it 5 stars

Fascinated by her story, struggles but family and friends encouraged her to walk with God and pursue her love of running.Always walk by faith and hold on to your dreams to pursue them in your life. 🙂

Awesome read with an insight that inspires triumph to conquer obstacles in one's own life. Sydney is a dynamic athlete to watch, and from reading her memoir, an even more dynamic person off the track. Well-written and engaging from the introduction until the last chapter. She's definitely graced to run and share her faith in God through her life's rich experiences with the masses!

Inspirational autobiography of faith and perseverance.

I really enjoyed the book I’m looking forward to watching the OlympicsAnd reading her next bookTo God be the Glory!

I bought this book because I am a runner and I enjoy reading runner books. I was blown away by how this book was about so much more than running. I was inspired by how Sydney weaved her faith and how identity in Christ should relate to all areas of our lives throughout the whole book. She was honest and vulnerable. I appreciated how she reflected on how should could have handled situations better if her identity had been in Christ during those situations. She gives glory to God in all that she does. This book is NOT preachy but practical showing how you can apply your faith and identity in Christ in all areas of your life. I definitely recommend this book. It is very well written and I read through it faster than most books--because of how inspiring and engaging it was as well as how well it was written.

It’s a good book

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this intriguing book! Sydney’s writing is so real and candid. The poignancy of her experiences jump out from the pages and moved me to tears, and to change. If you’re looking for an inspirational book to help you run from fear to faith, I highly recommend “More Than Gold” by Sydney McLauglin-Levrone (the current world record holder in the women’s 400 meter hurdles.)

So refreshing to read the story of a runner who is not only super successful on the track but who is also so committed to God. Indeed, as she wrote right at the end of the book, that the whole purpose of life is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Highly recommended!!
