Most Christians might tell you two major things about David: he killed Goliath and he committed adultery with Bathsheba! What else? God says himself in Acts 13:22 that David was a man after his own heart! How? Why? That’s what this book is about. David was a type of Christ, and there are reasons—nearly a hundred of them, all based upon the life and times of David compared to New Testament teaching. In Stand Up...Face Up...Look Up, you will be surprised to see how you, like David, should stand up to your giants, face up to your mistakes, and look up to your God!
During a glorious but controversial career, Frank McGarvey won every major trophy in Scottish football. Under Alex Ferguson at St Mirren in the 1970s, he inspired a young Saints team to victory in the First Division - an effort that attracted the attention of English giants Liverpool and Scotland manager Jock Stein. After a frustrating spell at Anfield, he headed back north to join boyhood heroes Celtic, with whom he won five medals in five seasons. However, he was shown the door by Davie Hay just days after scoring the winner for the club in the 1985 Scottish Cup final. McGarvey then returned to St Mirren, with whom he won the Scottish Cup two years later, and he continued his success after a move into management, helping Clyde to win the Second Division trophy. But this is only half of Frank McGarvey's story. Throughout his remarkable career and beyond, McGarvey fought and, for the most part, lost a battle with gambling, which cost him his marriage, home and self-respect. In Totally Frank, McGarvey chronicles his many highs and lows, and reveals how he finally succeeded in overcoming his gambling addiction.
The 1970s saw a change in the fortunes of the Scottish national side. Having exited undefeated at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, the sobering trip to Argentina 78 prompted more realistic future expectations. Extensively researched, Scotland in the 70s examines the decade's 89 matches in depth, with the help of countless star contributors.
This book investigates the psychology of victimization. It shows how fundamental assumptions about the world's meaningfulness and benevolence are shattered by traumatic events, and how victims become subject to self-blame in an attempt to accommodate brutality. The book is aimed at all those who for personal or professional reasons seek to understand what psychological trauma is and how to recover from it.
