Today's show is a conversation between Randy and Jim Hartsell about Jim's new book, "When Revelation Comes". The book is available now through 

 and is Jim's second book. Besides his full-length writing, Jim writes at his website, jhartsellgolf.com, and contributes to a number of places, including The Golfer's Journal, Links Diary, and our own NLU website. 

"When Revelation Comes" is about a trip Jim took to Scotland in August of 2021 in the aftermath of losing his youngest son, Jordan, unexpectedly. It's a beautiful book that will touch on the full range of emotions, and stands both as a love letter to Scotland and Scottish golf, but also about what it means to love, lose, and try to carry on in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy. Enjoy.
