On Playing The Back Nine

On 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. William Ritter is a highly regarded retired United Methodist pastor who, in addition to having served significant churches, taught Preaching at Duke Divinity School. He is now well into his seventh decade of life. When asked where he is on the back nine, he responds, "All that I know is that I can now see the clubhouse without binoculars." He is also the author of two other books: "Preaching in the Key of Life" and "Take the Dimness of my Soul Away".
