DescriptionOn Playing the Back Nine (which is not a book about golf) is a book of seasoned reflections and sermons focused on the topic of aging, specifically growing older and looking backward at one's life while facing the future.
Chapters include Preliminary Notes on a Living Will to be Shared with my Daughter and When the Roll is Called up Yonder, Who'll be There? The latter addresses the much debated issue of who will constitute the population of heaven.
