May 10, 2008 - As Christians anticipate Pentecost Sunday on May 11,2008 the birthday of the Church and the beginning of the Christian race, a new book in the religion/spirituality market informs readers about the most enormous and longest competition the world has ever seen, the Christian Olympics, otherwise known as the 'Christian race'; that the apostle Paul wrote about nearly 2,000 years ago .
In The Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns ($12.99, 1-5978-1530-6, $20.99, 1-5978-1531-4) author S.E. Gregg unveils the Bible's comparison of the Christian race to the Olympic Games.
Gregg examines the rich metaphors that can be found in the scriptures such as the lighting of the flame, the most dramatic event of the Olympics, is reminiscent of the fire of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost which was the 'divine' Opening Ceremony of the Christian Olympics.
“Gregg's writing is entertaining, inspirational, and motivating. "The Christian Olympics" is expressive, Biblically sound, and challenging. Let the Games Began!” Richard R. Blake.
S. E Gregg, a 'spiritual marathon runner' for several decades, is encouraging Christians all over the world, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the message of the book that Christians are the real Olympians.
