Media Reviews
Sister Madonna's story is one of purpose, conviction and passion. She dismisses boundaries and proves to us that nothing is impossible. The Grace to Race is both inspirational and energizing; long live the Iron Nun!
--Dean Karnazes, New York Times bestselling author of Ultramarathon Man
The Grace to Race is inspiring and funny. The story of this now-80-year-old nun will make you want to push your body to the limit as you learn to appreciate the miracle and splendor of Creation.
--Mary Higgins Clark
Sister Madonna's courage and wisdom shine through the pages of this warm, funny and inspirational memoir. You'll learn a lot about finding joy, achieving your goals, facing hardships, loving God and the rest of those in the human 'race, ' and keeping a sense of humor about it all--oh, and about running, too.
--Father James Martin SJ, author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
Sister Madonna is a genuine heroine, a person whose example we badly need. Not everyone is going to do a triathlon, of course, or even aspire to a marathon. But just getting out and moving can do wonders, and she's a beacon of hope.
--Walter Bortz MD, author of Aging for Dummies, Dare to Be 100, and The Roadmap to 100
Sister Madonna proves you can make records, and break them all over again, at any age. Her spirit is without limits.
--Dara Torres, Olympic gold medalist and author of
Age Is Just a Number
