Country Clubs and Churches (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798889281153)

-ABOUT THE BOOK: A provocative exploration of privilege, faith, and purpose in a self-focused world.

Is there more to life than accumulating accolades and chasing comfort? In this candid and insightful manifesto, author Bob Brame pulls back the curtain on two of America's most revered institutions-country clubs and churches-to expose how entitlement subtly infiltrates our beliefs, our relationships, and our identity. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience immersed in both worlds, Brame reveals how a culture of privilege can quietly recast sacred spaces into exclusive clubs, stripping them of their true purpose. Part memoir and part cultural critique, Country Clubs & Churches is a deeply personal journey and a timely call to rediscover what matters most. Through vivid storytelling, wry humor, and unflinching honesty, Brame challenges readers to confront their own illusions of entitlement-and to embrace the only choice that truly transforms a life. All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever. -1 Peter 1:24-25 niv

-ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bob Brame spent over four decades navigating the fairways of professional golf course management while simultaneously serving in bi-vocational ministry roles. From his childhood days sketching golf holes in church bulletins to directing agronomic preparations for major championship tournaments, his unique life journey has woven together faith, work, and a passion for cultivating excellence. Licensed and ordained to the gospel ministry, he has served as an associate and interim pastor, a disaster relief chaplain, and a mentor to countless colleagues and church members. His writing reflects a conviction that life's greatest fulfillment is found not in entitlement or achievement but in relationship with the Creator. Bob lives with his wife, Rhonda, in Northern Kentucky, where they continue to serve, write, and embrace the ever-changing course of life with gratitude and grace.
