It's a long book to read, but I'm delighted that I did. Thanks to the writer Phil Streeter for giving me the book. The thing is, as I read each page, I was happy that I live in the London of 2025. So many things were surprising, and so man

Well, it was a quick read. Swears a lot. In some ways, I was not surprised. I do think that the whole thing is rather sad. Money, Money. Lots of it, but for what, lonely, sad, pointless. Decadent, of course. It's a great read, and if you are one of t ...more

Passed to me by a colleague, so I read it. Whilst I think the author is telling his story how he sees it, I found it a challenging read. Perhaps it was the language; whilst I don't find the story wrong or difficult to believe, the way it was expresse ...more

Christian Creativity by Philip E Streeter

Very short, little pamphlet-style book. Giving the reason why people should be creative. Relating it to the fact of a creative God. Quite challenging and to the point, a quick good read.

The thing about fiction is that it enables you to push a line almost unobtrusively, and writers do it even if they don't intend to do it. We underestimate the persuasiveness of fiction. It is reported that Uncle Tom's Cabin changed the USA Quote: It ...more

A funny thing about this book is that I was on a train and saw someone reading it, so I asked if it was good. They said I have read it more than once. I then offered them one of my books, 'I was a foster Carer', they insisted on a swap, which we did. ...more

It is not an easy read, but it is worth the effort. I'm unsure if it is the lay, but it is probably the content. Tis book is challenging to say the least. Someone asked me why I thought it was challenging. I guess the answer is that I have never cons ...more

I have to say I enjoyed the read. However, it did often disturb me, and at times, I thought it was painful.
The significant difficulty is racism, and the power play, which brings inequality.
It was painful to read about occasions when the so-called ex

“It takes knowledge and experience to say precisely and consisely what is true and what is needed. Scholarship often excels in lofty learning and deep digging to emphasise what we knew all along. Adrian Hawkes' little book, based on real life, bring us what so many don't know and greatly need to know. I would not be ashamed to put it alongside many weighty volumes on my study shelves.”
George Canty
