Clearing Hurdles J Lawrence

When life takes a tragic turn . . . don't give up. Like most mothers, Jordan Lawrence's mom knew her first born was special from the moment he exited her womb and entered the race of life. His big brown eyes and day-one smile greeted everyone in the delivery room. Jordan was ready to take on the world. Then five months later, the unimaginable happened: two cars collided, and Jordan was in one of them. Suddenly, his bright future grew incredibly dim. Doctors didn't expect Jordan to survive his injuries, but God had a different plan. Jordan was still in the race, and so far from finished. Clearing the Hurdles: Facing Life's Obstacles with Determination to Overcome and Win [or Clearing the Hurdles: Facing Life's Obstacles with Determination to Win the Race] is Jordan's story of overcoming the looming obstacles on his long road toward recovery. Borrowing metaphors from his track-and-field days, Jordan shares how he has defied just about every "he'll never" declaration and shattered records along the way. He stresses the importance of starting well, being stretched, staying in your lane, and never giving up-especially after a setback. Jordan's personal story of tragedy and triumph will inspire you to face whatever obstacles you encounter in your race of life with faith, courage, and perseverance. After reading this book, you will discover that you have what it takes to overcome and clear every hurdle.
