The Gospel in Golf
Malcolm Down Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-912863-87-7 (ISBN)
In the Gospel in Golf, John Horry loosely draws an analogy between the Christian life and a round of golf. It is loose though, about as loose as his 5-iron!
Join John and his regular playing partners Phil, Jason and Brian as they take you on a round of their local golf course in Nottinghamshire, England.
With typical golfing humour and mandatory banter, the happy foursome demonstrate that even the most disastrous of holes can produce analogies for the Christian life whether you are a rookie believer, mid-handicap journeyman or a low handicap superstar.
John also includes 'To the next tee' sections which recommend some further reading for those wishing to explore the Christian faith at a deeper level.
John Horry recently retired from an all-consuming senior role in a multi-national healthcare organisation. For many years John has been part of the leadership team at Stapleford Baptist Church, located in a small-town west of Nottingham. In that role he is engaged in a teaching ministry regularly speaking and leading meetings. The Gospel in Golf is his first book. John is married to Pauline and they have three grown children.
