Publisher's Synopsis
Without first asking our permission, the rules of life have changed. Things once familiar and dependable have been replaced by anxiety and an uncertain "new normal."
In the middle of the storm, you find that your relationship with God has changed as well. Your once solid foundation of faith begins to show cracks as doubt and fear creep in; and you begin to wonder if God truly loves you at all. Is God faithful? Is he merciful? Does he keep his promises? Why is God so patient when I want him to answer my requests now? How glorious will it be when discovering this was God's purposeful path that leads to contentment?
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. (Proverbs 16:9)
As a man coming into the prime of his remarkable career as a world-class golf course architect, Gary Stephenson's design for his work life was right where it should have been-multimillion-dollar projects on four continents, constant requests for new proposals, and associations with arguably the world's best golfer. But, in the blink of an eye, the financial crash of 2008 changed Gary's life forever.
Worn-Out Gloves: A Journey to Contentment is a colorful and raw glimpse inside the mind of a man seeking to align God's purposes for his life with his own shattered dreams. The book, a series of short stories and events, explores Gary's learnings, humor, and hardships and the curation of a more meaningful, transparent faith and ultimate reliance on God and his promises.
