Resumen del Editor

Read by the author.

What fears are standing in your way or holding you back? How do you want to become stronger? Olympic and World champion hurdler Sydney McLaughlin wants to help you answer these questions as she shares her personal story of struggles and victories, of faith and transformation.

Sydney McLaughlin knows about facing down obstacles. She has mastered not only racing over hurdles on the track but also tackling challenges in her personal life—from lifelong battles with perfectionism and anxiety to persistent questions about her identity and whether she was "enough."

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 will share aspects of her life story and personhood she has never shared publicly before, offering a more complex picture of who she is. She will inspire you to:

• Conquer your fears in Christ's strength
• Stand strong in your identity in him
• Push past your perceived limits
• Overcome the challenges you're facing

Experience the story of a woman who shifted from anxiety to boldness, from limits to freedom, and from perfectionism to purpose—and now shows the world that often what we think is impossible is possible with God.

Very interesting background on a true legend

Great story with way too many scripture quotes. It was fantastic to hear how she dealt with all the anxiety and stress of being the top athlete in her event. Her delivery is a little slow motion at times.

Amazing!

Loved this book so much!! Thank you Sydney for sharing your story! Very interesting and inspiring!

Genuine vulnerability

What a great insight into the mind of what should be considered one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time!

Vulnerabilty

Very well written with articulation and peaceful tone. I could hear God speaking through Sydney. Thank you for giving me this tool as a stepping stone towards stronger faith and better quality of spirituality. Forever grateful.

Sydney convictions

I like how she supported statements with scripture and her determination to not allow her testimony to spoil by living with her fiance soon to be husband..so he moved out until they were married.

Great Story

I’ve admired Sydney from afar and it has been wonderful to have a sneak peek into her background and story. Very inspiring and great reminders on who we should place our identity in. Not in the things of this broken, misguided and sin sick world but of those things above. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Candor and true humility.

Hearing much of the background in how God made himself real in the author’s life was so encouraging. Even before I finished the book, the Lord placed my niece in Magnolia, Arkansas on my heart to send her this book. My prayer is that she too will be inspired toward greatness for the glory of Jesus!

Speaks to what I need

Track need, so yeah I'm going to listen. But far more profound and offers things for me to consider on my path.

Authentic

Sydney does a great job walking us through the difference between being religious and having an authentic relationship with the Author of Life-Jesus the Christ. Very encouraging read!

A MUST READ!!

Loved this book so much! It grew me in my faith in God, challenged me as an athlete and made me take a look in the mirror at my own life and how I could better serve Jesus and be a reflection of Him. Sydney did a phenomenal job with this book! I know it’s going to change so many lives and point them to Jesus!!
