Recenzii
“When Revelation Comes is a deeply moving story of unconditional love and unspeakable loss. Readers join Jim Hartsell as he searches for a way to live with his grief in the one place he thought answers might be found—the links of Scotland. Hartsell’s lovely writing and truly authentic voice only accentuate the poignancy of a book that will linger long in the memory.”
“Jim’s enthusiasm and love of all things Scottish golf takes us to corners of the country even us Scots haven’t ventured yet!”
“On the surface, Jim's book is a wonderful golf travel guide that will compel you to go online and book your flights and tee times. However, the tragic story behind the course reviews, very skillfully interwoven, makes it something entirely different. In places, it will be hard for any parent to read. But I promise, you will be glad you did.”
“Nobody truly finds ‘closure’ after extreme suffering. But Jim Hartsell found an opening back to life while exploring the links of Scotland. His achingly beautiful evocation of his experiences will transport readers as they learn of how his adventures brought him solace.”
“When Revelation Comes, at its core, is a book about being human. To live, love, explore, and lose. To reflect, learn, and carry on. Through his words, Jim offers each of us an opportunity for revelation, be it about life or the game of golf."
“A beautiful story of one man's travels through life and his golfing journey, especially his time in Scotland and its healing effect. Jim Hartsell is a great storyteller. I could read his words or listen to his tales all day long. A must read.”
