When it comes to sporting history, Celtic Football Club is at the foremost of an elite list. Yet in all that has chronicled the unmatchable uniqueness of Celtic, little has focused exclusively on individual incidents and events. Take Me To Your Paradise seeks to redress matters by reliving the controversies, little known tales and unusual events throughout the annals of this grand old team. No time is wasted in capturing the reader's attention, with an astonishing opening incident relating to (Founding Father) Pat Welsh's daring escape, aided by a sympathetic soldier named Sargent Maley. This incident precedes the first event, in which Brother Walfrid holds his first charity football venture at Barrowfield Park in 1886. One could only imagine the impact that both stories would have on the establishment of Celtic Football Club.It's not all antiquity though, as readers are taken on an enthralling journey through the decades... from 1896 Irish Race Conventions to 1968 Soviet invasions, the Johnstone Vigilante Committee to the Jungle's last stand.There are stories of Paradise speedway meetings and other unusual uses of the stadium, Cappielow riots, British Cup champions, flag controversies, Tannadice U-turns, The Invincibles and everything in-between! With wild disorder, hysterical laughter and downright tragedy - this a different read from your usual book.Take Me To Your Paradise is ultimately an historical and contemporary record of the extraordinary Celtic story. It is told from a uniquely entertaining angle, which captivates the values, achievements and tribulations of the club both on and off the pitch.

In this unique book, best-selling angel author Theresa Cheung takes readers on a guided tour of Irish spirituality with the focus firmly on the nation's deep-rooted belief in angels. Punctuated throughout with real-life stories from both Irish people and visitors to the 'Emerald Isle', it will show that although being Irish isn't necessarily a prerequisite for seeing angels, it can certainly act as a catalyst. Many Irish people have grown up with stories of guardian angels and protector saints like St Patrick, so their insights and stories provide the perfect launching point to help others connect with their own angels. Here are stories of miraculous healing from this mysterious and sacred land, which has historical associations with the divine. This book will encourage spiritual seekers of all ages to make a pilgrimage to Ireland or, if that isn't possible, to feed their souls with Celtic spirituality.

Celtic strode majestically into the history books in 1967 as the first British club to conquer Europe, and the iconic photograph of captain Billy McNeill holding aloft the glittering European Cup in the Lisbon sunshine is the defining image of that footballing era. Yet at the start of the decade, Celtic were a team plagued by defeats and in disarray both on and off the field. What brought about their remarkable transformation? In Celtic: The Awakening, Alex Gordon enters uncharted territory to investigate the story of Celtic in the 1960s, an extraordinary decade in the club's roller-coaster 125-year history. Players of the era, good, bad and indifferent, are interviewed in depth in an attempt to unravel one of football’s greatest mysteries. Sweeping through the ’60s and beyond, Celtic: The Awakening details the previously untold story of how a proud club rose from grief to glory, from dismay to delight.

Prehistoric beasts have filtered through the vortex of time and have appeared in his present day of 1910. Rosa, his past love, indicates they must block the passage of time and the only way to do it is to venture through another prehistoric journey. The eccentric Russian scientist, Dr. Sasha Dimitrikov, who developed the time travel device explains their return trip through time may not take them to the days prehistoric beasts roamed, but they could land anywhere in time. Limmerick has misgivings about his prehistoric expeditions through time, he feels he has opened a Pandora's Box by trying to play God. His life grows even more chaotic when he finds himself in the chancellor's bed. The chancellor agrees to fund his prehistoric time travels if he agrees to be her lover. He breaks his engagement with Amoli, who tries desperately to win him back. When they enter the time vortex, they, by mistake end up in 840A.D., the time of the ancient Celts. Viking invasions are ravaging Celtic villages and they are not prepared for this time in history. He is chosen to be the head warrior for the Celts in a series of battles with Viking warriors. He is unsure of himself because of his lack of experience with a sword. Dr. Dimitrikov tries to teach him swordsmanship, but it takes years for a great warrior to master a sword. When the head Chieftain of the Celts, first sees Amoli, her beauty enchants him; where he must have her. He demands to fight Limmerick to the death for Amoli's hand. The battle intensifies, while the spectators are roar with terror, thinking their newfound Celtic warrior has been killed by the Chieftain. Rosa is jumped by two Celtic hunters, she fights them off but they manage to steal Dr. Dimitrikov's time travel device. Despite all he has been through, she is determined to come up with a plan to retrieve the very important time travel device. There are also continuous meetings with Megaloceros giganteus; a prehistoric beast that leaked through the passage of time and ended up in the time of the ancient Celts. The Celts set up a burial for Limmerick. Rosa tries desperately to reach him. She kneels by his side to realize that he miraculously survived the battle. Amoli becomes the Chieftain's possession, but when he sees Limmerick is alive, he refuses to give her up. Limmerick and Dimitrikov both charge at the Chieftain with two-handed claymores and relentlessly fight him to his death. Dr. Dimitrikov finally positions the time travel device to take them back to 1910 A.D.
