Synopsis:

Offers meditations that apply the sport and its rules to life and one's relationship with God, including preparation for the course, focus, and overcoming adversity

From the Author: This book is about God, Golf, and Life - exciting stuff!
In His Grip was just a file folder of ideas about the parallels between life and golf and faith until clinical depression left me at home unable to work or play golf. I used the time and tragedy in my life to begin writing the book. It is 67 one page thoughts about these parallels with scripture verses from the Bible for each page. The incredible design and photography from Koechel-Peterson Design have made this one of the most beautiful books you will find, especially if you love the game of golf. All of this has made it a popular gift book. Most people who get it as a gift have to have more copies for their friends and want to get on our mailing list. The book has sold nearly 200,000 copies and has been a great encouragement to men and women, young and old. I love to hear the stories of how it has changed lives and helped people enjoy golf. Several small groups have begun using the book and our study guide for study together. My thanks go to the co-author and golf pro Wally Armstrong and to Billy Graham and Tom Lehman who contributed so much to the success of the book. My address is at the back of that book and our second one, Playing the Game.
