The Runner's Bible, by Nora Holm

The Runner’s Bible, Spiritual guidance for People on the Run by Nora Holm

Now more than ever, The Runner’s Bible offers a peaceful moment in a stressful world.

First published more than 80 years ago, and with 60 printings since then, this classic “prayer Bible” has been a blessing to countless individuals who seek guidance from Scriptures. Originally compiled and annotated by Nora Holm in 1910 for her “on-the-run” 17 year old daughter, The Runner’s Bible
is rich with more than 1,000 Bible passages and still-relevant brief commentaries, shedding light on every life issue.

“The Runner’s Bible is one of the best spiritual aids for daily prayerful living I know. Most who come to know The Runner’s Bible keep multiple copies. Habitual use of this book reveals prayer to be not merely something some do, but as the way to see and to be. The God encountered here is not a hypothetical for off Supreme Being, but an intimate, immediate presence and underlying source and force of personal being. I would like to offer my thanks for Nora Holm and her work on The Runner’s Bible, which has helped some many of us run with greater energy, less pounding fear, more love and a truer sense of direction.”
--Polly Berrien Berends, Author of whole Child/Whole Parent, Coming to Life, and Gently Lead.

“When I’m on the go and feeling the heat of a hurried day, I look for a quieting thought or an idea to strengthen me for what lies ahead. I found in The Runner’s bible a refreshing stream of living water.”
--Jim Rosemergy, Author of A Closer Walk with god. New thought for a New Millennium, and The Transcendent Life.

Nora Holm

- “There is nothing as important when making ready for the day, as an early morning period of stillness, wherein to make sure the Truth, and the Truth only, controls our consciousness. However, that the consciousness may be clear enough to perceive the Truth, we must let go of thoughts and sensations of the material world, must be still (Ps. 46:10) and know that all that truly exists is Good, and determine to know nothing else. This will free from all obstruction the “mind of the flesh” and bring it into harmony with the Mind of the Spirit—with life indeed (Rom. 8:6). We must also be humble (Ps. 37:11), willing to be taught (Prov. 13:18), to receive, and then when joy has been let into the heart (Neh. 8:10), and gratitude is felt, we are in condition to receive the blessing—to know the Truth, and we can be assured that Love will guide us, that success will ultimately crown every endeavor, for all things will work together for good (Rom. 8:28)….”
--Chapter One, “In the Morning Will I Order My Prayer Unto Thee”
