Avid golfer Marvin R. Wamble has played on courses all around the world, and he understands the precarious nature of the game. It has its ups and downs, and no golfers, no matter how good they are, can always be guaranteed a great round. By the same token, Wamble the minister realizes that the game of life is impossible to master without the Lord. From Tee to Green, a devotional written for golfers searching for a way to improve their lives, shares Wamble's witty and insightful reflections on life and golf. With personal anecdotes, spiritual lessons, and prayers, he dares to ask tough questions designed to spur readers to the next level of their game-whether it's in the middle of a golf course or at one of life's emotional and spiritual crossroads. Wamble shows us how to make God a part of our daily lives so that we may walk with spiritual confidence and courage. Not wanting us to settle for par or bogey, the Lord lovingly infuses us with the power and authority to allow a more abundant existence, allowing us to not only fly like eagles, but to capture a few on the links as well.

Although popular author Phil Callaway offers no guarantee for a lower golf score, he does offer 40 short devotionals full of warm, humorous, and enjoyable reflections on the sport Mark Twain called "a good walk ruined." "This isn't a book about the mechanics of golf. Thousands of those are already available. This is a book about life. Golf is a useful game, teaching us more about life and faith than we think...if we will only listen." Phil Callaway Duffers old and young will appreciate the wisdom and grace found in this a new addition to the Outdoor Insights pocket devotional series. A great read while waiting at the tee, in the clubhouse, or during a quiet evening at home.

Golf has come a long way from the Highlands of Scotland. It has grown to become a multi-billion dollar a year industry and has captivated the interest of people of all ages, all over the world. The concept of using common activities to teach valuable principles for living is not new. The many parables that Jesus Christ taught used images that were common to life. This isnt the first book written to draw analogies between the game of golf and the game of life, but it is unique in that the author has included some of his own life stories. During the time that he worked on a beautiful golf course as it was being built, he felt prompted to write down some of the insights and comparisons to life, from a Christian perspective, that God was showing him. This little book is simply meant to be a vehicle to direct heart and mind from earthly things onto things above. Jesus is still speaking to the hearts of people today. Read on, and see what He is saying to you!

Have you ever heard a golfer say, "Golf is a commentary on life?" J.D. (Jerry) Cole has taken that idea to task in The Course. The Course is filled with golf metaphors, stories and illustrations on golf and life. Jesus spoke of the "Sower and the Seed, "The Mustard Seed" and the "Wheat and the Weeds" to farmers, and Jerry writes about the "Golfer and the Course", "The Grip" and "The Scramble" to golfers. The Course is a metaphor on life. Its ups and downs, sorrows and joys, and its defeats and triumphs are all part of God's course design. If life is a tapestry of stories, within these pages are the stories of one golfer as he walked the course of life with his friend, Savior and Lord." Experience the passion of a true lover of the game and insights into the Christian life as Jerry shares his experiences on the golf course and The Course of life. J.D. Cole has experience in many ministries over the last thirty-six years: Pastor-Teacher and Church Planter with the Next Generation Churches, Field Staff with Young Life and Youth Pastor. Presently, he is a Discipleship Trainer with Discipleship Training International and an International Advocate for Haiti with Missions Door. His life's mission has always been to simply tell people about Jesus. The Course is an outworking of that desire. Jerry loves the game of golf and holds a handicap index that moves over and under 10. He considers his greatest accomplishment as helping his wife, Susan raise their four children, Leta, Jonathan, Jessica and Stephanie. He and Susan live in Nevada enjoying their grandkids.
