Testament of theWeekend Warrior

Fr. Dale Grubba at book signing at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, N.C.

Cover Illustration by Sam Bass

Champion stock car drivers and other major sports figures relate inspirational moments or acknowledgments that occurred at various times in their careers of living life on the edge.
Fr. Grubba's presentation of these quotes together with related Bible texts reinforces the relativity of the Bible to today's world, with a question to the reader as to how he is dealing with similar issues in his own life.
Excellent non-denominational role-model material for boys and young men; inspiring, interesting reading for all.
Fr. Grubba writes about auto racing for several motorsports newspapers. He has been an enthusiast since his first exposure to the sport, a trip to the Daytona 500 following completion of Seminary some 30 years ago. Fr. Grubba is donating all royalties to charity.

Thinking Positive

When Davey Allison suffered the worst wreck of his career at Pocono he didn't spend his time bathing himself in self pity. Instead he thought of drivers like his father, Bobby, and Richard Petty who had been injured and returned to racing immediately. If they could do it, so could he. "The doctors told me I would never race the next week at Talladega. I told them I would.
"I did."

"I broke my right leg and tore the ligaments in my left leg. So, I went around for, I dunno, a month on a crutch. they gave me two crutches, but I couldn't get around on two, so I threw one of ’em away. It's mind over matter. If you want it, you're going to do it. No matter how bad you hurt."
Richard Petty

If your faith were only the size of a mustard
seed, it would be enough to uproot that mulberry tree over there and send it hurtling into the sea! Your command would bring immediate results.
Luke 17:6

Doctors are beginning to explore the link between the mind and body in the healing process. Dr. David Sobel, in the The Healing Brain writes, "When we treat patients with various drugs or procedures, we often forget that a sizable portion of the improvement may not be due to therapy, but to the positive expectations of the patients."

What personal disaster have you turned around through prayer, will power, and having a goal?
