In God’s Grip: Author’s Book Chat
The Reverend Russell Levenson, Jr. will host a discussion of his new book, In God’s Grip. Refreshments will be served. Please register (required, no charge) using the link on this page.
In 1953, as legendary golfer Ben Hogan accepted the U.S. Open Championship trophy for the fourth time, he pointed to several specific elements that he felt made his accomplishments possible. He referenced “adequate preparation and knowledge of the course.” He thanked his wife, Valerie, who, in his words, “has helped me more than she knows.” Tucked within his gratitude were words that might have surprised. “But there’s something else I’m thankful for. You just can’t do this sort of thing without God’s help.”
In God’s Grip is a book about God’s help. With permission of Ben Hogan’s heirs, author, pastor and priest Russell Levenson, Jr. employs Hogan’s timeless classic, “Five Lessons,” as a metaphor for growing and living the Christian faith. This is a book for those who love the game of golf and those who want to know more about living an active and vibrant faith.
