system error

So read this article where the guy Steve chalke says some books, in fact far number about, st Paul and the Bible not written to be read.

They written to be placed in studies situations for academic to mull over them.
He just wrote a book about St Paul where he read books for a year.
Nothing but books.
Would love that luxury goes some place read books?
Return then write book about what l have written. Charge many for the joy
 You see that the system error....brains of the study are totally irrelevant to the life of very many who hold faith. that such a big issue but not going to change because NT Wright loves having all the attention why should he not
  • In the real world he is total nothing
  • but in Academia he is self appointed God
  • paid well
  • lives in ivory tower
  • has all the plaudits
  • that the system error 

Skint Estate is the hard-hitting, blunt, dignified and brutally revealing debut memoir about impoverishment, loneliness and violence in austerity Britain – set against a grim landscape of sink estates, police cells, refuges and peepshows – skillfully woven into a manifesto for change.
Alone, pregnant and living in a women’s refuge,  couldn’t vote in the 2010 general election that ushered austerity into Britain. Her voice had been silenced. Years later, she watched Grenfell burn from a women’s refuge around the corner. What had changed? The vulnerable were still at the bottom of the heap, unheard. Without a stable home, without a steady income, without family support – how do you survive?
In Skint Estate, Cash has found her voice – loud, raw and cutting. This is a book born straight from life lived in Britain below the poverty line – a brutal landscape savaged by universal credit, zero-hours contracts, rising rents and public service funding cuts. Told with a dark lick of humour and two-fingers up to the establishment, Cash takes us on her isolated journey from council house childhood to single motherhood, working multiple jobs yet relying on food banks and temporary accommodation, all while skewering stereotypes of what it means to be working class.
Despite being beaten down from all angles, Cash clings to the important things – love for her daughter, community and friendships – and has woven together a highly charged, hilarious and guttural cry for change.
‘Cash is the definition of edgy, a truly distinctive voice’ – Lionel Shriver, bestselling author of We Need to Talk about Kevin

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
