A challenging and sobering read (‘Are we all Nazis now?’)’ Dave Brennan, Director of Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform UK
‘Yes Richard love your style and content. ‘Building Jerusalem’ is a ideal and I’d love to copy and paste it, giving you credit. Are you planning to make this into a book for sale?’ Syd Cordle OBE, Christian Peoples Alliance Leader
‘I enjoyed this, Richard. Great sense of atmosphere, and I love that you made Balthazar a Jew… Melchior comes across as a strong character - they all do. Your story takes me right into that time and place.’ Philippa Linton
‘Richard takes us on a polemical journey from Matthew Arnold’s Dover Beach where there is ‘neither joy, nor love, nor light’ to William Blake’s Jerusalem ‘coming down out of Heaven from God’. It is not for the faint-hearted and is not merely a misty-eyed look back nor a doe-eyed look forward. It is rooted in the eternal truths of wisdom chiselled in the stone of the Ten Commandments and reflected in the letter of St Paul to the church in Corinth. These nine essays are a wake-up call to our divided and broken society. They are of course counter cultural and not designed like modern social policy to please one group or identity, but rather set out a radically different approach to human life calling for a return to laws based upon the solid foundations of Judaeo-Christian principles.’David Burrowes, Parliamentary Director, Conservative Christian Fellowship
‘Many people today instinctively understand that something has gone very wrong with society. Freedom is being eroded, and the values and principles which were the foundations of our civilization are being turned on their heads so that good becomes bad, and bad becomes good. While many people are waking up to this, few solutions are offered to combat the endemic erosion let alone how to restore sanity. Building Jerusalem offers the reader a keen insight into the deliberately corrosive ideology of Critical Theory, but far more importantly the solution which has been standing before us all along: a return to the Christian faith of our forefathers.’
David Kurten AM, Heritage Party Leader, London Assembly Member
‘Most illuminating… this book [Building Jerusalem] contains lots of things it would be great for Christians to know.’ Alexander Fitzgerald, CICCU, University of Cambridge
‘This book [Building Jerusalem] is an excellent summary not only of the serious problems besetting us today, both individually and as a society, but also of the answer to the situation we face, an answer that has always been there but that our governments and the peoples of Western nations have today chosen to ignore and cast aside, with disastrous consequences. Richard Roper here gets to the heart of the malady that afflicts our civilisation and shows us the way out of the grave that our society is speedily digging for itself. This answer is no mere theory, not speculation but tried and tested wisdom that produces results. I commend and recommend this book to all who are concerned for our society and for its future.’ Stephen Perks, Director of the Kuyper Foundation
‘there is a no more decisive writer on the common pandemic of world-wide error than Richard Roper, his words cut deep.’ Rev. Victor Robert Powell, CEO 66 Books
‘This is a very deep and perceptive analysis. Thank you.’ Vince Rockston
‘Brilliant explanation of what is taking place in the world. Saddest thing are the masses of so-called Christians that are embracing this evil ideology and 'departing' from the true way. It's hard, and yes, intimidating to stand up for truth - but GOD IS greater than the enemy's world agenda!’ Jennifer
