Synopsis

As anyone who has tried to hit a little white ball into a hole with an odd-shaped stick knows, golf is hard! It is well worth taking time to glean every pointer and secret you can from the experts. Mastery in life is even harder. How do we glean the secrets of effective Christian living? From God's Word, in prayer, and from brothers and sisters with more experience than we. Golf Lessons for Life appeals to both believers and would-be believers. It contains golf instruction as well as life and faith lessons. Many golfers have not been exposed to God's Word or grown in their faith due to Sunday morning tee times. Golf Lessons for Life can be one of the greatest outdrawing parallels between golf and life. The video is hosted by renowned golf instructor and PGA Tour Player, Wally Armstrong, the author of the best-selling book "In His Grip". Joining him is Pete McDaniels, senior columnist for Golf Digest and author of two Tiger Woods books as well as the best selling book "Uneven Lies: the Heroic History of Afro-Americans in Golf". This is a great tool for Sunday School classes or small group Bible studies.

About this title

Review:

In His Grip provides a clever and insightful analogy between professional golf and the Christian walk. The authors are careful not to take the golf aspect too seriously and in each single page thought always close with a Biblical perpsective on the point they are making. The book focuses a lot on Tom Lehman who undoubtedly has the credentials both as a Christian and as a professional golfer.

It's an easy book to read and is perfect for the nightstand. The way it's laid out you can read one page at a time and reflect upon the point being made; or you can read 50 pages. --A customer

Sheard's perspective on golf and life is fresh and new. I'd recommend this as a gift for anyone who likes to hit the links. --A customer
