Reseña del libro "Running for My Life: One Lost Boy's Journey from the Killing Fields of Sudan to the Olympic Games (en Inglés)"

Running for My Life is not a story about Africa or track-and-field athletics. It is about outrunning the devil and achieving the impossible; it is about faith, diligence, and the desire to give back. It is the American dream come true and a stark reminder that saving one can help save thousands more.In this heart-wrenching story, you'll learn aboutLopez Lomong's harrowing kidnapping at the age of six, becoming one of the Lost Boys of Sudan;his survival in a prison refugee camp and his miraculous escape;how he arrived in the U.S. through the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor program; andLomong's journey from high-school track star to U.S. Olympic team captain.Lopez Lomong chronicles his inspiring ascent from a barefoot lost boy of the Sudanese Civil War to a Nike-sponsored athlete on the U.S. Olympic Team. Though most of us fall somewhere between the catastrophic lows and dizzying highs of Lomong's incredible life, every reader will find in his story the human spark to pursue dreams that might seem unthinkable, even from circumstances that might appear hopeless."Lopez Lomong's story is one of true inspiration. His life is a story of courage, hard work, never giving up, and having hope where there is hopelessness all around. Lopez is a true role model." MICHAEL JOHNSON, Olympic Gold Medalist"This true story of a Sudanese child refugee who became an Olympic star is powerful proof that God gives hope to the hopeless and shines a light in the darkest places. Don't be surprised if after reading this incredible tale, you find yourself mysteriously drawn to run alongside him." RICHARD STEARNS, president, World Vision US and author of The Hole in Our Gospel
