Death and Life of Australian Soccer
In The Death and Life of Australian Soccer, journalist and historian Joe Gorman explores the rise and fall of Australia's first national football competition and shows how soccer came to practice and embody multiculturalism long before it became government policy. Drawing on archival research and interviews with players, supporters and club officials, he tells the incredible and oft-unknown stories of Australian soccer. The Death and Life of Australian Soccer is a fascinating and timely account of the first Australian sport to truly galvanize every ethnic, regional, metropolitan, gender and political group across the country. It examines the myths and legends of Australian sport and offers new ways of understanding the great changes that shaped the nation. This is more than a book about soccer – it is the riveting story of Australia's national identity.

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life
When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. Change will happen the moment you have the courage to change. Our first step is thinking good thoughts - thoughts which uplift us, encourage us, energize us, help us focus on the positive and distance ourselves from energy draining thinking and people. You always have time for the things that you put first. Be determined to change and feel better. Make happiness a high priority. Move with the flow of life and grow. Be fearless. Once you let go of the issues that seem to be holding you down, there's no limit to how successful you can be.

With this new edition one of the most influential books of recent times takes on a new immediacy.

You are going to be amazed at what you can accomplish once you begin to trust yourself. Handle the bad moments like the temporary setbacks they are. Maintain your poise and keep reaching for your happiness. Make tomorrow better.

Healthy. Happy. Holy.
'Take care of yourself.'It's an encouragement we offer freely to others but often withhold from ourselves. Why is self-care so hard for Christians to embrace? Perhaps it starts with our view of God. Dr. Joe Gorman contends that God desires his children to live healthy, rested, and joyful lives. Healthy. Happy. Holy. addresses the whole of life, exploring the importance of seven practices that, when intentionally combined, become a routine Gorman calls soul care. These practices are a means of grace to us as we learn to enjoy the life God intends.
Resilience
"In Resilience, Joe Gorman explores the resources of the Christian faith that can sustain us during difficult seasons, helping us gradually grow into the kind of people who can withstand life's temptations, trials, setbacks, and storms. The journey toward resilience is always messy and unpredictable, but the good news is that we do not have to travel by ourselves"--
The Karma Cleaner
The Gloucester High Lions football team, for decades one of the premier athletic powerhouses in South Jersey, has fallen on hard times. A mysterious stranger, McGrogan, visits Gloucester right before football practices begin in August and makes a deal with a na�ve young musician, Steve Oxley, that promises to restore the Lions to their former glory-but may cost Oxley his life and soul. Oxley tries to balance a budding romantic relationship with a moody artist with his newfound stature as the town's football hero. The romance is further complicated by the attention Oxley receives from a beautiful new girl at the high school. The thrill of high school athletic competition mingles with young love and the frightening dark arts practiced by McGrogan. Allegiances shift, the lines between hero and villain are blurred, and the small town rises to defend its honor. Nothing gets resolved until the final pages.
