Far Beyond Gold: Running from Fear to Faith
One month before the Paris 2024 Olympics, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke the 400m hurdles world record for the fifth time. Arguably one of the most dominant athletes at the Olympics this year, she is also a follower of Christ.
From lifelong battles with perfectionism and anxiety to persistent questions about her identity and whether she was “enough,” Sydney is no stranger to obstacles on and off the track. As a multi-year world champion and Olympic gold medalist, her pursuit of perfection and people-pleasing continued for years … until God broke into her story with His overwhelming grace, transforming love, and empowering truth.
In Far Beyond Gold, Sydney takes you behind the scenes of the world stage and shares aspects of her story of faith in a way she has never shared publicly before. Not only will this give you a look at the life and faith of one of the world’s greatest athletes—this book will help you find strength in Christ for whatever hurdles you may be facing in life.
