"""When Revelation Comes is a deeply moving story of unconditional love and unspeakable loss. Readers join Jim Hartsell as he searches for a way to live with his grief in the one place he thought answers might be found-the links of Scotland. Hartsell's lovely writing and truly authentic voice only accentuate the poignancy of a book that will linger long in the memory."" -Stephen Proctor, author of Monarch of the Green and The Long Golden Afternoon ""Jim's enthusiasm and love of all things Scottish golf takes us to corners of the country even us Scots haven't ventured yet!"" -Ru McDonald, host of The Scottish Golf Podcast ""On the surface, Jim's book is a wonderful golf travel guide that will compel you to go online and book your flights and tee times. However, the tragic story behind the course reviews, very skillfully interwoven, makes it something entirely different. In places, it will be hard for any parent to read. But I promise, you will be glad you did."" -Tony Dear, writer Links Magazine and author of The Story of Golf in Fifty Holes ""Nobody truly finds 'closure' after extreme suffering. But Jim Hartsell found an opening back to life while exploring the links of Scotland. His achingly beautiful evocation of his experiences will transport readers as they learn of how his adventures brought him solace."" -Lorne Rubenstein, author of A Season in Dornoch ""When Revelation Comes, at its core, is a book about being human. To live, love, explore, and lose. To reflect, learn, and carry on. Through his words, Jim offers each of us an opportunity for revelation, be it about life or the game of golf."" -Phil Landes, aka Big Randy of No Laying Up ""A beautiful story of one man's travels through life and his golfing journey, especially his time in Scotland and its healing effect. Jim Hartsell is a great storyteller. I could read his words or listen to his tales all day long. A must read."" -Malcolm Duck, owner of Duck's Inn in Aberlady, Scotland"
