Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition yellow boards contained in an as new color photographic dust jacket. Includes Before You Begin and Personalities Quoted. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings. "I've always thought of golf as an intensely spiritual sport. Someone once said that eighteen holes of golf is a perfect microcosm of life on earth - a series of small decisions, each affecting the next. If you are one of those with a heart for golf as well as a heart for God, then grab your glove and your clubs and join me on the practice range. Let's see what lessons the Master has in store for us." - Wally Armstrong. "Faith has always formed a vital part of my success. Whether as a golfer, husband, father, or now grandfather it forms the cornerstone of my life. Wally has combined this principle in a fun, easy-to-read way that is a must for all golfers who believe." - Gary Player. "Wally Armstrong is a fabulous teacher of golf and a devoted follower of Jesus. The Heart of a Golfer combines those two great qualities. It is a terrific book that will improve your golf game and strengthen your faith." - Ken Blanchard, Coauthor, The One-Minute Manager, Whale Done! and The Generosity Factor". "This is a book for the man or woman who loves God and golf. In these pages, you'll discover how the two go together. Because without question, golf is a game filled with parallels to the Christian life - and as you'll see, Wally Armstrong knows how to help you fine-tune your approach so that, whether on the links or in life, you're always improving. Inside are a few of the things Armstrong has learned at God's lesson tee. "It's a collection," he says, "of stories and anecdotes from my many years in golf, each used in some way by God to bring home a truth about life, faith, relationships, and my walk with Christ in general." In [the book], Armstrong offers thirty-six "lessons" covering different aspects of life's game: the fundamentals, swing mechanics, course management, mental agility, the spirit of the game, and giving back to the game. Are you eager to shave off a few points on God's golf course? Then step up to the tee and let the lessons begin." - from the inner front jacket flap. Sprague, Todd (interior design) (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, part of an ethical address series, is concerned with the scope and challenges of teaching children ethics. The author, an education professor, believes intellectual, moral, and spiritual preparedness is essential before a child may begin to act ethically. Though they may know an action is right or wrong, children need guidance to apply that knowledge to their behavior. The author establishes a four-part process to develop ethical conduct: Firstly, the child must be trained in forming correct judgments through various mental exercises. Secondly, conduct must be regulated according to moral ideas and the sentiment of duty before the child can reason out why. Thirdly, the child must be instructed in moral ideas and their significance to help them understand the value of ethical action. Finally, the child must be given the opportunity to act out these moral ideas to develop a personal experience of them. The author emphasizes that all moral training should ultimately be in service to others, and that it is an imperative necessity in an increasingly complex and ethically challenging modern world. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful guide to the development of ethical conduct in children and its profound impact on society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
