Overcomer by Chris Fabry

Overcomer is by Chris Fabry. It is an inspirational story based on the movie produced by Alex and Stephen Kendrick. John Harrison is a coach at his high school . He currently was coaching basketball and was asked by the principal to coach cross country. A large manufacturing plant got shut down because many families left their town. Amy is a new student in the school. She decides to run cross country. She is the only person on the team. The principal is very supportive and encouraging of Amy being on the team even though she is the only person on the team. Amy is very motivated to increasing her times every time she runs. John and his wife Amy view coaching as a good opportunity to mentor Amy. The book is very inspiring and shows how Amy grows and changes . This book shows the importance of having a good identity in Christ and knowing who you are as a person. This book has been made into a movie. There is also a Bible study to go with the book. The Bible study gives the opportunity to apply Christian values and principles from the book and movie. It challenges the reader to think about their life. This book was given to me by the publisher to read and review. I am not obligated to give a positive review.
