June 03, 2003: Lenard pierces through the darker recesses of the human spirit and the mantle of fear and cynicism in which most of us habitually cloak ourselves. I'm not a golfer, but Lenard brings out the magical lure of the game to this effort, demonstrating that golf truly is a metaphor for life. The parallels are striking between golf and the struggles of our daily lives: The ruthlessness of work associates bent on destroying our careers; marital infidelity, gambling; drugs, and all of the basest behavior of humankind; all without having to resort to lurid sex scenes, violence or profanity to make his points, something these days I can appreciate, and don't feel uncomfortable about letting my teenage daughters read. Lenard has deft skill in drawing us into the lives, actions and suffering of his characters; we feel their anguish, fears and sorrow. I found my self identifying myself with the hero preacher protagonist, Dwight Church, as the antagonistic chairman of his own board of deacons sets out to destroy his life and ministry, simply because he could not control the preacher's life. Church questions his own faith and ability to carry on his pastorship. This is when the Miracle on the 13th Hole occurs. Evil is overcome. Faith in miracles is renewed. Nominated for a Pulitzer, this is a fast paced, outstanding and fascinating read, one the like of which I have not been so affected by since I first read Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' in 1963 at the tender age of 10. You will not be disappointed or unmoved by this preacher's journey in faith.
