Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
In His Grip provides a clever and insightful analogy between professional golf and the Christian walk. The authors are careful not to take the golf aspect too seriously and in each single page thought always close with a Biblical perpsective on the point they are making. The book focuses a lot on Tom Lehman who undoubtedly has the credentials both as a Christian and as a professional golfer.
It's an easy book to read and is perfect for the nightstand. The way it's laid out you can read one page at a time and reflect upon the point being made; or you can read 50 pages. --A customer
Sheard's perspective on golf and life is fresh and new. I'd recommend this as a gift for anyone who likes to hit the links. --A customer
