Greater Than Gold

From Olympic Heartbreak to Ultimate Redemption

By: David Boudia, Tim Ellsworth

Narrated by: Adam Verner

One of America’s most heralded young divers, David Boudia twice went for Olympic gold, training obsessively and whole-heartedly for success. In his first Olympics, he failed miserably, not winning a single medal. Four years later saw a different story: he mounted the podium twice, winning both gold and bronze. The difference? In the intervening years, he’d changed the focus of his quest from seeking glory for himself to giving glory to God. In Greater Than Gold, Boudia provides a behind-the-scenes access to the rarefied world of world-class athletics while also showing readers that when they place their hope in God, they receive what they’ve been seeking all along.

Excellent testimony of Faith in Jesus Christ

Great read. Inspiring. Great testimony of God's love and how to lead a life pleasing to Jesus Christ in a fallen world. Read this.

great!

Loved the book, what an amazing testimony of Christ and His strength that there is no pit so deep that Jesus can't reach you!

Tremendous!!!

Any additional comments?

I found it to be a tremendous inspiration! While I have long desired to bring glory to God in my pursuit of competitive shooting, this was an awakening to my many short comings...
I am confident my first listening has made me a better person and will only strengthen my walk with Christ! Thank you!

It's Not About David, and That's The Point!

David did a great job sharing his story with the ultimate meaning being not about him, but what Christ has done and is doing in his life. Thankful for the book and David and his wife's lives as they strive to live for Christ because to die is gain.

encouraging redemptive story

great redemption story/good theological insight, well written. avoids the pitfall of bad theology such as 'if you love God you win a gold medal' the author also is clear about his sin and his continual daily need for Christ. highly recommend it and I don't have any interest in diving.
