Book Review: Unstoppable: Running the Race You Were Born to Win – Christine Caine

We recently read this book at the Women’s Ministry book club and it was enjoyed by all and brought about an interesting discussion on the topic of being unstoppable in our lives with God and running the race as a relay, not a marathon – passing the baton on instead of doing everything ourselves.

Christine Caine starts her book by talking about the Olympics and more specifically the relay race – focusing on the USA team and how it is important to be in the exchange zone at the right time in order to pass the baton correctly and efficiently to the next runner without dropping it, which shows us the importance of working as a team.  Did you know that it takes less time to run a 400m relay race as a team than it does to run a 400m race as an individual!

By telling stories of people in her A21 campaign against human trafficking she shows us the importance of listening to God and realising He puts us in places for a reason - to be ready to take the baton that God has put in our hands and that we are called to be a team assembled by God to achieve His purposes. And God is unstoppable.

God has plucked us out of eternity and positioned us in time and given us the gifts and talents to serve Him and to bring the light of Jesus Christ into a broken world.

Our race is now so get ready to run it and run it with others – if we receive and pass on the baton in the divine relay we will be unstoppable.
