Tennis With God is a memoir that gives you a courtside seat as I swing my tennis racket from hazardous war zones to the ashram of a Himalayan guru, and eventually to Mount Shasta, an area known for its esoteric legends.
Travel with me and my family through exotic hardship posts in Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East. Along the way, high-level tennis and table tennis are my faithful companions, as I perfect my game and aim to earn the respect and acceptance of my overbearing father.
During my youth I became fascinated by spiritual knowledge and the paranormal. My search for self-realization and inner peace eventually led me to Dennis Adams, a mystical healer from Mt. Shasta who demonstrates miracles and has no patience for rules, “group thinking,” or cultish behavior. Under his tutelage, I begin to transform myself as I seek to find a way to heal my relationship with my father, and with myself as well.
You’ll relish your time through a remarkable, true story and photos where tennis and spirituality ultimately weave themselves into a grand adventure.

Tennis With God es una memoria que te ofrece un asiento junto a la cancha mientras balanceo mi raqueta de tenis desde peligrosas zonas de guerra hasta el ashram de un gurú del Himalaya y, finalmente, hasta el Monte Shasta, un área conocida por sus leyendas esotéricas. Viajo conmigo y con mi familia a través de lugares exóticos y escarpados en África, Asia, América del Sur y Medio Oriente. En el camino, el tenis de alto nivel y el tenis de mesa son mis fieles compañeros, mientras perfecciono mi juego y busco ganarme el respeto y la aceptación de mi autoritario padre.
Durante mi juventud me fascinaba el conocimiento espiritual y lo paranormal. Mi búsqueda de autorrealización y paz interior finalmente me llevó a Dennis Adams, un sanador místico de Mt. Shasta que demuestra milagros y no tiene paciencia con las reglas, el “pensamiento grupal” o el comportamiento sectario. Bajo su tutela, empiezo a transformarme mientras busco una manera de sanar mi relación con mi padre y conmigo misma también. Disfrutarás de tu tiempo a través de una extraordinaria historia real y fotografías donde el tenis y la espiritualidad finalmente se entrelazan en una gran aventura.
