Great book! Loved reading about Arvid's cycling career, the causes that motivated him, his amazing supportive wife & family, and the mental challenges that go with such physical feats. The message that it took strong reliance on God came through clearly.

What an inspiration, especially for those of us who may feel like our usefulness diminishes as we age.
