    Love this. The tone and pace alone of this guy's story telling had me gripped from the start. An undeniable truth seems to just radiate from him. The peace and serenity that is now in place of the hurt and violence is really quite astonishing. Superb interview mate.

    This reduced me to tears. What an articulate, insightful gentleman. I feel a pull to start attending church myself. I kinda feel I was supposed to see this today. I've attempted to go to church the past few weeks but my nerves n feelings of being a fraud keep me from going in. Pleasure to hear someone else turn their lives around. Fab interview James. 🙏👍👌

    I was looking for a book on Amazon yesterday and yours popped up . So bought it and started to read it .
    Next day I put on the radio and there was some music I didn’t like. So tune into another channel. And this guy was talking about cocaine. I listened and it turned out to be this guy . God obviously wanted me to lead his book . Being in the gyspy community we can find a lot of people square and that can’t really relate . But this guy as had life experiences that can relate t certain people that need to hear the gospel and they’ve not gone to far beyond Gods reach . Pray for my family members please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I resonate with so much of what was said even though I'm not from the road. The struggle is the same deep down for everyone! It's all about how you feel inside and your personal relationship with you!! I really wanna change!!! And hope connecting with you will bolster my resolve.

    Hey Big up Tooting!! 😁 My old stomping ground when landed in London in the 80s, it was a good manor for us Irish back in the day til like everywhere the really young kids started appearing, fighting each other & messing up everything & bringing it on top for everyone. Lots of old heads got out of the life at that time and the streets went wild.
    I love all of South London , good years in Garratt Lane , Henry Prince Estate 💚 , my baby was born in St Georges hosp.Tooting . Still got a real soft spot for the South London accent & I enjoyed Clauds story. Hes a nice lad and I relate big time with him about loving his £6.50 Barista job, there really is nothing like having your peace of mind.

    Only read the title. Decided to give it a watch. As soon as I heard claud speaking I knew he was a man of the church. Was pleasantly pleased when it unfolded and my initial instinct was correct. He's been shown the light before the devil could sink his claws into him. The tirany of evil men can be touched. When good prevails over bad.

    Amazing. I'm a Christian but not a so called "bible basher" and i used to laugh at the idea of God or Jesus and also thought it was weak. Sure parts of the bible are bonkers but I tell you what, like Claud says in this interview- once you realise that God is there and you offer him your heart, massive events begin to happen in yer life as a result.
    God is STRONG.
    This interview shows that so humble up a d take note of the TRUTH.
