Join eminent ultramarathon champion Greg Brooks on an epic run-for-your-life, soul-searching journey as he recounts his athletic and Christian paths through life.

Greg's memoir is laced with the American history of his ancestors, takes a fascinating look at the Fortune 500 Eastman Kodak Company, and also features the poignant poetry of his father. His overall message for you is that you can run the Race of Life and be a winner in Christ.

As a corporate engineer, father, coach, church elder, and national award-winning ultramarathon runner, "having it all" and speeding through life, Greg Brooks was hit with a career-ending wall set up by the merciless forces of Fate. But he listened to God's steady voice and rose above the ruins to shout, "Survive!" to himself, and to all those whose paths he would cross. Today, although disabled, he leads a non-profit that constructs caskets for and by the homeless. Greg lives with his wife, Donna, in Irondequoit, NY
