God on the Starting Line: The Triumph of a Catholic School Running Team and Its Jewish Coach - Softcover
Synopsis
"It captures the deeper joy of watching young athletes embrace unfashionable ideals of commitment, sacrifice, courage, and faith."--Sports Illustrated
"Marc Bloom coaches as every coach in the sport should. I recommend this book without reservation. Read it, commit it to memory, and you will be better for it."--American Track & Field
"At its core a spiritual book. It will inspire the reader who values small works of goodness and the courage to face big challenges."--Jewish Book World
"More than a story of different religions, Jewish and Catholic, meeting on the cross-country course. There is an even more eternal struggle: old versus new. Bloom preaches the value of pain, hard work, suffering, and delayed gratification. His cross-country kids are, well, kids. They want to have fun, chase girls, and enjoy the loosey-goosey life. In Bloom's inspiring tale, both coach and kids learn surprising lessons from each other."--Amby Burfoot, executive editor of Runner's World
Marc Bloom, an observant Jew, winds up the coach of a local Catholic high school cross-country team. The common ground he finds between the two faiths helps to propel his team to a state championship.
