In God's Grip

"""Russ Levenson has done a masterful job of showing how the game of golf is a metaphor of living a good life through the Gospels and that when we are in ""God's Grip"", anything is possible!"" Joe Sweeney, Businessman and author of 5 books including New York Times best seller, Networking is a Contact Sport ""If you enjoy golf, as I do, you think often about how to improve your game. Russ Levenson's well-written, well researched new book, In God's Grip, is a winsome parable that uses golf to gently confront us with profound, lifechanging tips to improve something far more important, our relationship with Christ."" Max McLean, Founder & Artistic Director, Fellowship for Performing Arts ""In In God's Grip: What Golf Can Teach Us About The Gospel, Russ Levenson writes beautifully about the spiritual life, using the game of golf and Ben Hogan's timeless lessons. In God's Grip comes from a life devoted to pursuing a relationship with God from the perspective of a seasoned priest and pastor who takes ancient truths and puts them in the context of our 21st-century life. It's a ""must read!"" The Rev. Dr. Fredrick Robinson, Editor, The Anglican Digest ""This delightful little book on what golf can teach us about the most important questions people have about their lives is a truly great read. As a former teenage, for the likes of Charlie Coody, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Weiskopf, and others, and is now pleased to serve as a divinity school dean, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Kudos to my friend Russ Levenson for combining these passions of his in just the right order."" Dr. Doug Sweeney, Dean of Beeson Divinity School ""Golf is a skill that requires practice and that can bring you hours of joy. Russ Levenson show that faith is a skill that requires practice and that can bring you hours of joy. He is a gifted apologist, past, and preacher. All three gifts are apparent in this compelling and beautiful book. Buy it for your friends, family, and for that person you know who just happens to play golf! The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D., Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary"
