Drawing from a lifetime in sports and over a decade as a pastor, Benno Kurvits shares his wealth of experience in Outrun the Bear, showing that there is a way for us to enjoy sports, and to seek to excel at them, while honouring both God and our fellow man in the process. "Outrun the Bear makes a strong statement of the power of faith to shape and strengthen athletes, coaches, and everyone else in the sport experiences of life." -Dave Mantel Athletic Director, Redeemer University College
