A place where fast cars and fast money are the ultimate status, Luke befriends Nelson who wants to teach him that fear breeds respect. Charlie, an old friend of the family, is on to Nelson's game. Armed with a lifetime of 'been there and done that', how can he persuade Luke to give up and play straight? Or is Luke too far gone to call game over?

Hoolifan is the story of one man, Martin King, and his experiences spanning three decades with the country's foremost soccer gang. Chelsea have always been at the cutting edge of football violence, and King himself was at the heart of the evolving Chelsea mob for some 30 years. From his first visit to a football ground in the early 1960s, he charts his development from a rattle-waving child through to a fully fledged member of the notorious Chelsea Shed in the 1970s and finally to his exploits as a key player in the most feared football gang of the 1980s and 1990s - the so-called Chelsea Headhunters. King describes the leading characters of the various eras, not just from Chelsea but from across the country. He also records every clash, ambush and act of revenge in vivid detail, as well as the camaraderie and style of this most infamous soccer gang. This is not just another book on the well-trodden subject of football hooliganism, as, unlike so many authors, Martin King makes no attempt to distance himself from the violence and leaves readers to draw their own conclusions. At times provocative, often humorous and always honest, Hoolifan places the phenomenon of football hooliganism in its true social context.

By Rosealine Allen ISBN: 9781847471000 Published: 2007 Pages: 229 Key Themes: ethnic minorities, schizophrenia Description This is a poignant, surprising and claustrophobic autobiography on schizophrenia. The reader must ask him/herself whether there is a conspiracy against Rosie, or whether it's all her imagination and is simply a further manifestation of her illness. The book takes the reader through Rosie's school years, her leaving home and then pursuing a course at polytechnic, where things start to go horribly wrong. Wherever Rosie goes she finds people are conspiring against her, as a result she becomes chronically stressed and paranoid. She starts to hear voices and eventually concludes that there is a conspiracy against her orchestrated by the intelligence services and that what is happening to her is part of a wider assault on the black community. About the Author Rosealine Allen was born in May 1967 in London. She is a black woman born to West Indian immigrant parents. She spent her early years moving between grim council estates first in East London. At Polytechnic she studied psychology and she is now training to be a teacher on the Graduate Teacher Programme. Rosealine currently lives in Basildon, Essex. Whether Rosie's troubled youth was typical of a Black British girl growing up in the seventies, she cannot say, but she does believe the problems that existed between her parents and her were common for West Indians families at that time.

This explosive novel tells the troubling story of a young Catholic boy who is brutalised by his father, who wants his son to do his bidding in an attempt to bring about a United Ireland. The boy is forced against his will to carry out attacks on British soldiers and installations on behalf of the I.R.A. Much to the father's chagrin, his controlling plans start to go wrong when his son falls in love with a Protestant girl. But far worse than her religion, she is from England and is the daughter of the leader of the British Forces in Northern Ireland. The story involves a classic journey of love against all hope, and results in the death of a major player. The Cause Was the Trouble is an unforgettable tale of love and war set on a world stage. Michael Dethier was born in the Brixton section of London. He worked thirty years for a major British company as a chauffeur. "This is where my real education began. In my time at the company, I drove many world leaders." He wrote this book because it has something to say and "love conquers everything." Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/MichaelDethier

This Is My Story is an unusually fascinating account of one man's life. ·It is a story of the making of a man, initially written with grandchildren in mind--"Who was my grandfather? What kind of person was he?" ·At another level it is a story of a growing faith, telling how amidst the ups and down of life he has remained a "soft-hearted" pilgrim. ·At yet another level it is a story of the making of a leader who never stopped learning how to lead, care, preach, and engage in effective mission. ·Perhaps even more significantly, it is also a story of a ministry, in which the author never lost his sense of delight and privilege in his calling to be a pastor. ·Finally, as one who has at time been at the center of controversy, it is an opportunity to tell "my side of the story." This is a book for pastors--and for any Christian--who wants the "inside story" of the pains and triumphs of a Christian leader.
