... that American religious speaker Ann Kiemel Anderson ran in two Boston Marathons and two Israel marathons near the Sea of Galilee to promote Christianity? Source: "From December, 1979, through June, 1982, Anderson completed eight marathons, including two in Israel around the Sea of Galilee and two Boston marathons. She wrote: "My dream is to touch lives for Jesus as I train and run, and to become a more disciplined woman of God. This dream inspired me to take groups of children to Israel in 1979 and 1980. They cheered me through the Israel marathons and toured the sacred places where Jesus walked and taught and touched lives." In her seventh book, I'm Running to Win, the author compared running a marathon to "running the race of the Christian life." - Gale
ALT1: ... that American religious speaker Ann Kiemel Anderson, who was the dean of women at the Eastern Nazarene College, had a film based on her life? Source: "Ann went to Boston to be Dean of Women at Eastern Nazarene College, at age 25!" - The Folsom Telegraph "Not only are her seven books phenomenal best sellers in the religious marketplace, but a feature-length film on her ministry (Hi! I'm Ann) is currently being shown around the country, and she is in such demand as a guest speaker that an airplane often seems more like home than does her Boston apartment." - Millers, Holly (December 1980). "Ann Kiemel to win souls". The Saturday Evening Post. Vol. 252, no. 9. p. 46.
Overall: New enough and long enough, well-sourced and neutral, no concerns on reviewing Earwig results. AGF on the Miller article. I have made some minor edits which I hope are OK. Both hooks are fine but my strong preference is for ALT0, which is the more interesting hook IMO. I enjoyed reading this article, she seems to have been an interesting person!
