Golf: Lessons I Learned While Looking for My Ball: When I first started playing golf, I decided that I would avoid renting a cart. If nothing else, I wanted the exercise benefit. Walking the course, especially if you don't hit down the middle of the fairway, provides a pretty good workout, and gives you time to think. And there's not a better place to think than in the outdoors, under a blue sky, walking on the green grass while enjoying the gentle breeze.

It turns out that John Bytheway has had a lot of good thoughts on the golf course, and this little book is both a declaration of his love for the game and a collection of things he has learned while playing.

Filled with golf wisdom, favorite golf jokes and quips, and stories about LDS leaders who have played the venerable old game, this is a perfect book for anyone who has ever attempted to propel a little white ball into an artificial hole in the ground “with implements ill adapted for the purpose.”

Sports: Life Lessons from Court, Field, and Gridiron: Why do we love sports so much? Perhaps it’s because a basketball, baseball, or football game is like a miniature lifetime — an unscripted, unpredictable drama where determination, adversity, persistence, exhilaration, and disappointment are all acted out in front of us.

The last-second three-pointer. The ninth-inning grand slam. The fourth and goal to go with time running out. In so many ways, the drama of sports mirrors the drama of life, where we all strive to overcome adversity and defeat with courage and determination. Drawing from the observations and stories of coaches, players, Church leaders, and even a few personal experiences, John Bytheway presents life lessons from the wide world of sports that all will appreciate. (Parents will appreciate that he also includes a few lessons not to learn from sports, including boasting, taunting, and the like.) Athletes, former athletes, and armchair quarterbacks of all ages will enjoy Sports: Life Lessons from Court, Field, and Gridiron.
