Russell J. Levenson Jr.’s new book In God’s Grip: What Golf Can Teach Us About the Gospel is an homage to legendary golfer Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons and serves as a unique guide to help you understand how to review your spiritual journey (and your golf game) with patience and grace. Russ parallels the grip of the golf club, the stance, the backswing, and the downswing with facets of Christian life, drawing upon his many years of serving as a spiritual advisor to thousands along with his own experience as a golfer.
The book includes a foreword from renowned sportscaster Jim Nantz, as well as an endorsement from PGA Champion Ben Crenshaw, which you can find below.
