Bestselling author Steve Farrar has good news for the average man: it doesn't matter if you've had a great start in the Christian life, or a rough one. It doesn't matter if you've stumbled time and again, or even fallen flat on your face. What matters most in this all-important race of life is how you finish. According to Farrar, the man who hangs in there for the long haul with his wife, his kids, and his Lord is an exception these days. Finishing Strong, now in trade paperback, offers lively use of Scripture, contemporary illustrations, and study questions to equip every reader to be that exception. For the man who wants to climb the character ladder more than the corporate one, this is an essential tool.

The thing I like about Steve's books is that he is a real guy. He has shown through his books that life is a race, or a journey. It's a walk, a jog, and sometimes a race! We will make mistakes, but we strive to finish strong! This book is one of encouragement. Buy it, read it, and pass it on for someone else!

I wasn't sure if this book would be entertaining or another book that made me feel guilty for all of the things I wasn't doing. That was not the case, however! This book is written for humans - specifically human men, but my wife also read it and loved it. The idea of finishing strong had never occurred to me, but it became apparent as I read the book how important it really is. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards, and this book illustrates that and gives examples of significant people in history and how they have maintained forward momentum and people we have never heard of who really were off to such a great start at such a fast pace that they should be some of the most well-known figures in history, but they got derailed and did not finish strong. This is great for every person, every man especially, to get ahold of and understand how to simply move forward. I appreciate so much that this book was well written so it does not make anyone feel bad, yet wants you to become better!

Thank you Steve Farrar for a great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars What can you get from this that you can't get from the Bible?
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2009
Verified Purchase
It's the question I always ask when reading a Christian book. What can I get from this that I wouldn't see from reading the Bible on my own? What can I get from this that I wouldn't hear from a pastor's sermon in church? Why does there need to be yet another book in the huge ocean of Christian literature? Is this book necessary, and if not, is it at least worthwhile? (Of course the same could be said about me posting this review among the many others.)

Well, what I got out of "Finishing Strong" was primarily reinforcement. As a Christian, you know that there are tons of obstacles in store for you as you walk your path with God, and you know it's a long road. But what Mr. Farrar does is give you a better idea of what possible obstacles there are, and exactly how long the road is. It's likened to a 126 mile long road with multiple ambushes waiting in the form of money, women, and pride. He wisely tells you where he sees the finish line to be, even though he leaves it somewhat open to interpetation. And he's very clear to point out that only one in ten men is going to live up to the potential God has given him to reach this finish line in a powerful way. This is the most important point in the book, and if the elaboration on this point isn't a reason to read the book, then there's no reason to read it at all.

Many purposeful stories are in the book, and there should be at least one you don't already know. Some are stories about pastors, and others are about people outside of the church, so there's a lot of variety. Really, the only noticeable flaw I could point out is that while the meat of this book has quite a few things that only those familiar with the Bible could understand (it's obviously written for Christian men), Farrar tells the story of Joseph in a paraphrased way like we never heard it before, and spends at least a page or two doing it. Not necessary.

Okay, so a few pages weren't necessary, but going back to an earlier question, is the book itself necessary or at least worthwhile? Is it necessary to read "Finishing Strong" if you want to finish strong for Jesus? I would say it isn't, but at least having a copy close by will give your brain some reinforcement of where you should be in your race towards the goal.

Will you continue throughout your life to finish strong, so you can hear, Good & Faithful Servant, for eternity or will you have regrets? Only you can answer those questions - How do you want to look back on your life and be proud of your actions? or ashamed, or don't care?

Take your time soak in what is written don’t try to finish it in a day, soak it in and each chapter stop and reflect on your life what he said in the chapter. Thank you for following God’s vision in writing this book to help others, thank you very much.
