"Going for Broke on Jesus” is not a religious story in as much as stained glass windows, high church and ceremony are concerned. Bob was never in a church before he became a Christian except to get married and even then he was drunk. Jesus was nothing more than a name in the history books.

Bob had dragged his wife and kids through hell for years and deserved nothing; every minute of his day would be spent seeing how much booze he could get down him. he was totally convinced that his future as
a family man was doomed...

Bob prays the book will encourage people to appreciate the problems alcohol abuse can cause to family life, but most important, the BOOK is NOT an argument FOR OR AGAINST DRINKING, it is the story of how a childlike faith in JESUS RESTORED a BROKEN HOME & TURNED BEER BOTTLES INTO FURNITURE.

My name is Bob Park, I am married to Anne and we have one boy and two girls. I was born top flat 62 Lambhill Street, Kinning Park on 5th August 1939.in Glasgow, Scotland just before the war. Brought up in a slum, two rooms housing my mum, dad, three brothers and one sister . Our neighborhood suffered bombing from the German war planes and many were killed. My family moved to Priesthill when I was about 11 yrs old.

I left school aged fourteen and was employed as a Painter & Decorator for 5 years then joined the Scots Guards for 3 years and 4 years with the reserves. I was on duty at Buckingham Palace and accompanied the Queen on a tour of Scotland.

On leaving the Scots Guards I was a Prison Officer at Barlinnie for 4 years then a Policeman from early sixties to mid seventies. Like my father I was a heavy drinker since a young age but seemed to be fit enough to control it in these early years. I left the Police service and became the town drunk and a drug user.

GlesgaPal, 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."
