The Runner's Bible: Christian Wisdom for Busy Believers - Spiritual Prayers and Lessons; the 1913 Edition

By Nora Smith Holm and Nora Holm

Book Overview

The Runner's Bible is a spiritual collection which organizes passages of Bible scripture, that believers may take heart and inspiration from a variety of pertinent topics.

Accompanying the Bible scripture, which are rendered in bold type, are explanations and contributions by the author herself. Nora Holm was a lifelong Christian whose knowledge of scriptural wisdom is deep and resonant. She keenly quotes and incisively annotates the most poignant passages from the Gospels and elsewhere, that believers in need of spiritual counsel may take in some of the most vital aspects of Christianity.

This book consists of prayer material, whereby the reader can mindfully use the advice given when they consult with God. It also contains direct lessons and instruction on Christian topics; examples taken from the Bible, such as remaining mindful yet fearless of evil, trusting in the strength of the Lord, and remaining receptive to wisdom, personal growth and understanding of the complexities of life. This edition derives from the 1913 edition, that the author's efforts be replicated anew.

In all, Nora Holm's book is a superb example of practical lore, deftly compiled and intuitively composed for the modern Christian navigating a complex world.

The Runner's Bible

I LOVE this Bible. I first came across it when I found a very old version from 1913. My old one is very small in size and so old it is falling apart. I did a search to get a new one to carry and a few extras to share others. Even in the newer version it is still the same word for word. It is very easy to use and just what you need if your on the run! The title couldn't be more PERFECT!

Excellent devotional

This book from 1910 does exactly what it describes by providing a quick-start for devotionals. By selecting a verse or two by subject or at random, you have a meaningful focus for reflection, meditation or prayer immediately. It is not surprising that my experience is that God uses my selections for current issues in my life. This guide works easily with other disciplines, because you can adjust the time for reflection or prayer to the time you make for it. Just like Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest, devotions from the early part of the 20th century seem to be as timeless and eternally important as the Bible.

The Runners Bible

This is spiritual food I take it with me when I fly, at sea at home lots of wisdom and well written for those not ready for Old and New Testament.

Nora Holm has taken the most important scriptures from the Bible and has created a book that makes it easy to understand what Bible Principle relates to our conditions, circumstances and problems. The most wonderful part of this book is that the author does not pull any punches in her lessons and interpretations of spiritual law. She makes the Bible practical and useful for everyone. This book can definitely make you a daily user of the Bible, the greatest guide to Life ever written. As a Minister-In-Training I have found it to be an invaluable guide for spiritual counseling sessions and my own personal spiritual development.
