A study of grief and the soul, exploring the connections between life, death, grief, community, and bluegrass music.

Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, But Nobody Wants to Die

Sherlock Holmes is, of course, the arch rationalist, but his creator claimed to speak with the dead. Conan Doyle, a medical man steeped in empirical reasoning at Edinburgh University and the creator of the super-logical detective, was fascinated, from his mid-twenties on, by Spiritualism, early experiments in thought transference and healing through mesmerism. He spent the last years of his life writing and lecturing on those subjects. Doyle was first introduced to Spiritualism between 1885 and 1888 when he was invited to the home of one of his patients, General Drayson, a teacher at Greenwich Naval College. The medium was a railway signalman. Doyle was amazed by some of the paranormal activity he experienced, but he was no fool; he thought the other sitters at the seances naive and gullible. Nevertheless, he was intrigued, and he used his skills of deductive reasoning to investigate the possibility of communion with the dead. In these five novelettes, Holmes and Watson pit their wits against supposedly ghostly or ghoulish presences: the Ratcliffe Oracle, the Impulsive Vampire, The ghost of One Little Maid from School, the Skull of Kohada Koheiji and the ghostly apparition of Kit Marlowe.

A Great Gift for Dad and retirees with over 70 instructional photos & diagrams! I did it! I shot my age in golf—and you can too! This book is for you, a retired “Super Senior” golfer who is 65+ years old and really wants to accomplish the amazing goal of shooting your age in golf. With the help of my co-author, Mike Hogan, PGA Teaching Professional, I, at age 74 with a handicap of 15+, accomplished it twice in my first year of retirement. Since then, I have shot my age, or better, 32 times with a best round of 69. You can do it too! Mike and I will show you how. In this book we will provide recommendations and technical advice for seniors on all aspects of golf, including mental and physical preparation, the long and short game, practice, on-course management, and equipment.“You do not hit the ball with your backswing! Slow it down! Your backswing is all about proper position of the club with your wrists cocked to swing inside-out with acceleration through—not “at” the ball. Holding your wrist-cock as long as possible before impact combined with a full follow-through increases your clubhead speed and shot distance.”– from Chapter 5, “The Long Game”“My most important specific putting recommendation is to get the ball to the hole. There is a familiar and accurate saying that “100% of short putts don't go in.” A putt left short is an opportunity lost forever! Aim at a spot 12–18 inches beyond the hole—it will result in more putts reaching the hole, and more putts made.”– from Chapter 6, “The Short Game”

In this unique and engaging book, Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, but Nobody Wants to Die, musicians David Crowder and Mike Hogan remind readers that a life lived to the fullest inevitably includes pain and grief. Even more, that kind of life requires dying to self---which then frees us to experience a greater joy: living as part of a community of faith.
