Miracle on the Thirteenth Hole book cover
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Dwight Church, a golf-playing minister in Louisiana, daily dedicates himself to showing people the way to renewal of faith and hope in the Almighty.

His indecision concerning whether or not to continue his ministry causes Dwight to be immersed in streams of misery poured onto him by members of his congregation.

Throughout the novel, Dwight attempts to maintain his faith while struggling with society´s pressures to fulfill his duties as a clergyman.

He realizes that like other human beings, ministers must seek renewal of their own faith and hope from a greater power outside themselves.

Lenard Does It Again
Well, it looks like Lloyd Lenard has done it again! His second book in as many years looks like another hole in one. The characters and scenes come alive as Lenard 'paints with words'. As with his first book, The Last Confederate Flag, the author fills the pages with such a compelling story, the reader will find it difficult to put down. While I was reading this book and seeing the main characters struggle with the great issues of life, I found my own faith being strenghened. The buyer will find this book 'family friendly' which contrasts sharply with most novels being published today.

Great Book, A Must Read
A page turner about how everyday people can make a real difference in today's world. This book shows how God can touch your life today and bring back love, joy and peace to your world. Do not miss this book.

Golf, God & Miracles
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.
