In God's Grip: What Golf Can Teach Us About the Gospel Levenson, Russell J., Jr.

A unique and insightful guide to encourage readers to reflect on their spiritual journeys using the tenets of golf as a medium. Based on legendary golfer Ben Hogan’s five basic rules about golf, Levenson's book weaves together inspirational reflections on all aspects of a life led by faith. He parallels the grip of the golf club, the stance, the backswing, and the downswing with facets of Christian life, and ends with how to review the spiritual journey with patience and grace.

Every part of the process of golf is analogous to living a life through the Gospels and understanding Jesus. Filled with wisdom from Ben Hogan and important biblical passages, In God's Grip encourages readers to use their love of golf as a catalyst to think deeper about their spiritual relationship with God.
