\'p\'Sports are a microcosm of life. They provide goals to be achieved and obstacles to be
\n

overcome, they yield their share of joy and pain, and they’re a stage upon which the best and
\nworst of humanity is displayed. They are also a gift of God, one that can be either treasured
\nor abused.\'/p\'

\n\'p\'\'ul\'
\n\'li\'Learn how to fit your sports pursuits into the larger context of life in a healthy
\nway.\'/li\'

\n\'p\'Drawing from a lifetime in sports and over a decade as a pastor, Benno Kurvits shares his
\nwealth of experience in \'i\'Outrun the Bear\'/i\', showing that there is a way for us to enjoy
\nsports, and to seek to excel at them, while honouring both God and our fellow man in the
\nprocess.\'/p\'

\'p\'\'\'i\'Outrun the Bear\'/i\' makes a strong statement of the power of faith to shape and
\nstrengthen athletes, coaches, and everyone else in the sport experiences of life.”\'br\'
