Description
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 offers lively use of Scripture, show more contemporary illustrations, and study questions to equip every reader to be that exception. show lessTags

Somewhat chauvinistic in places, as it assumes that leaders are married men with kids. The book does have some helpful and encouraging suggestions, but reads more like something for the 1980s than the 2010s. Having said that, it has to be commended for its emphasis on integrity, character, and perseverance.
Rated: C+
I enjoy Steve Farrar's books. He is whimsical in his writing; yet, gets to the heart of the matter. This just wasn't one of his best.

Men, It doesn't matter is you've had a great start in the Christian life or if you stumbled along the way. What matters most is how you finish. The man who hangs in for the long haul with his wife, his kids and his Lord is an exception these days.
