The Rev. Dr. Russell J. Levenson Jr. is a good personal friend, an important colleague in ministry, and an alumnus of VTS. He is also the recently retired Rector of the largest Episcopal Church in the country – St. Martin’s in Houston. Retirement is not the end of ministry; and it is good to see Russ continuing to preach the Gospel in new and different ways.
Today, I am proud to share the news that “In God’s Grip: What Golf Can Teach Us About the Gospel?” is available for pre-order from Amazon. It is a delightful study, weaving together the basics of golf with the demands of discipleship. It is engaging and intensely practical. It is the sort of book you can give to a golfing friend of yours.
Do please buy the book here. And thank you Russ for everything you are continuing to do to witness to our Risen Lord.
