Going for Broke by Bob Park

Don’t be put off by the title.

“Going for Broke on Jesus” is not a religious book in as much as stained glass windows, high church and ceremony is concerned. It is the true moving story of how a Glaswegian’s childlike faith in Jesus restored a broken home and turned beer bottles into furniture.

Bob Park was brought up in a Glasgow slum. He left school aged fourteen and served a five year apprenticeship as a Painter and Decorator before joining the Scots Guards on duty at Buckingham Palace.

On leaving the Scots Guards he was a Prison Officer at Barlinnie Prison, Glasgow then a Police Officer. He left the Police and ended up in the gutter through alcohol abuse.

In the early nineties Bob founded the U.K. registered charity ROM-Aid International through which he transported some £12,000,000 (twelve million) of humanitarian aid to Romania over a sixteen year period. This resulted in the building of a new 'Accident & Emergency Department' for a local run down hospital, a 'Christian Community Centre' and a 'Hospice' for terminally ill HIV infected children.

GlescaPal, Carlin frae Fife, Scotland " I've finished reading this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is written in a nice easy-flowing style, with contributions from his wife, which I thought was most appropriate. How she managed to stick by him, I'll never know!! Whether you enjoy it or not may depend on whether you have faith or not. However, at the end of this read, you can have nothing but admiration for the author, who not only turned his life around but went on to use his life to help others."
