Steve FarrarFinishing Strong: Going the Distance for Your Family

This book is authentic. Well written with real life experiences. It has a lot of humour but still passes the serious message of why and how we need to finish strong. Great writing and great insights on finishing strong as God intended.

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!

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 found this book to be of better caliber then Point Man. Couple of things, the author has gained more wisdom in the past twelve years or so and is not nearly as dogmatic. When we are immature we often think we have ALL the answers.He speaks more about God's grace. This is so necessary to keep fallen man(all of us!) from being trapped by the enemy. Farrar still uses anecdotes to prove some weak points, retells well known bible stories in detail(can you say filler) and still makes broad statements that are questionable, i.e., "when I read between the lines..." Or some of his biblical hunches which don't appear in any reputable commentary. Comes across a little like I'm cranking out another book for my publisher and to make$. Sometimes I think Steve should just say No and focus more on quality then quantity. He really does have some good stuff.The study questions are the best part of the book, but I don't think he wrote them.

Great book

This book is a good read.

Definitely recommend for men wanting to set your vision for the things above. Great as a small group discussion is what we did. Surround yourself with other good men. Iron sharpens iron!

Did a book study with my men’s group. We learned and discussed a lot of things from the book. Now we are ready to take action and finish strong.
