An Inspired! Book Review
Bagger
Vance is a wonderfully inspiring story that uses the quest of mastering
one’s golf swing as a metaphor for mastering one’s self and one’s
existence.
The
author, Steven Pressfield, weaves his tale using the unfolding lives of
three men from three generations. Each man struggles to let go of
emotional scars that haunt and torment his life. It is after each one
reaches his lowest point that the presence of a mystical being, Bagger
Vance, appears in the guise of a golf caddy to reveal a path that leads
to greatness and self mastery.
The book is loosely based on the
Bhagavad-Gita, the ancient Hindu epic and spiritual text of India.
Bagger Vance represents the divine being that appears as a guide
offering insight on how to live an authentic life.
The internal
fight that each man faces is played out through his golf game. But the
teaching here is not only about the golf swing. . .

July 2, 2005 — To some people, a hero is someone who can fly and has super strength, and to others it’s a person who has saved another person’s life. To this young girl, a hero is simply someone who has touched her forever. If you think about it, there’s some point in your life when your best friend is your hero. Maybe it’s something they did themselves or something they did for you, but all your friends are amazing in some way. Just a thought.
Candice McCarty, age 13, wrote this essay for a literacy class at Roosevelt Middle School. It appeared in her local newspaper on July 2. |

June 3, 2005 — Kids everywhere are helping out around communities. These children have done things such as volunteering, raising money for patients with cancer, even helping out at the local YMCA. Whatever the reason may be, whether it’s to help the ill or just to put a smile on someone else’s face, it’s nice to know that children can make a difference in the world.
"This year North Star was overwhelmed by nominations for the award," Lindsey Murtagh, manager of the North Star Program, said. "I think it is a tribute to our youth (aged 6–17) that we received so many stories detailing their heroic efforts. Our community is built on the efforts of unsung heroes." |
