Steve Long understands the gift of life and life with God, especially seen from the seat of a bicycle. This beautiful memoir and theological meditation . . . instructs as deeply as it inspires. Place this book in the hands of any student and they will learn the meaning of cycling, the meaning of faith, the meaning of friendship, and what is required to become someone as deeply cherished and loved as D. Stephen Long. --Willie James Jennings, Yale Divinity School Framed by the thrill and danger of his beloved sport, it's a given that Steve's life story is a wild ride. It's also a gift that he tells it with the grace of a pastor, the precision of a theologian, the tenderness of a father and husband, and the faithfulness of a friend. The Art of Cycling, Living, and Dying is a wise and winsome book. --Debra Murphy, West Virginia Wesleyan College 'Authors are always in the middle of a conversation, ' writes Long in the opening pages of this beautiful memoir. Long draws us into the conversations that form his life as an obsessed cyclist, family man, moral theologian, and Christian facing his own mortality. Just as importantly, he summons us into a deeper exploration of the conversations that shape our own lives; by speaking his mind and life, he invites us to speak our own. --Rebekah Miles, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University A celebration of life--life in God, and that we have it at all--D. Stephen Long's latest is a feast for the living. . . . This book tells a remarkable story, one that is at once unique to one person's loves and universal to the human condition of loving. Beautifully written, gently profound, winsome through and through, fun and funny, Long's charming memoir shows what theology sounds like when keyed to the rhythms, and upheavals, of life with God. --Jonathan Tran, Baylor University
