This book gives details of life in Greenock and district during the decade of the 1920's. There were many problems in Great Britain during this era and Greenock suffered the effects of poverty, poor housing conditions, and unemployment. However, the town survived and by the end of the decade work in the shipyards and engineering firms had started to pick up, and the citizens were ready to face the 1930's with some confidence.
The Gospel According to Spiritism is a splendid book - elegantly written, radiant in its prose, and a source of charm for the speculative imagination. The book celebrates Allan Kardec's discovery of the Christian message through the poetic longings and devotional confessions of those who have already crossed the great river. This is a book that invites the reader to ponder her or his life through the vivid accounts from those who have already mastered their lessons, and the reflections of those who were willing to reevaluate their own past experiences on Earth. This is what makes the Gospel a true guide for our own inner transformation, and for engaging the self in the discovery of each person's true purpose in life.

Trong những năm vừa qua, tôi đã viết các tác phẩm về nước Nhật, nước Úc, Hoa Kỳ và nay tôi viết về Âu Châu. Vì nơi đó tôi đã được dưỡng nuôi hình hài và tâm thức này suốt trong thời gian hơn 42 năm qua (1977-2018) thì không lý do gì mà tôi không ghi lại bằng chữ nghĩa qua những tấm đạo tình của chư Tăng Ni cũng như Phật tử người Việt cũng như người Đức đã bảo bọc tôi suốt chừng ấy thời gian. Quả là điều không thể khước từ được. Mặc dầu không ai giao cho tôi một trách nhiệm như thế, nhưng tôi tự giao cho mình và từ đó phát nguyện dấn thân. Cách đây mấy năm tôi cũng đã viết quyển "Cảm tạ xứ Đức" bằng tiếng Việt và sau đó được dịch ra Đức ngữ, nhưng nội dung của sách này cũng chỉ hướng về nước Đức, chưa nói rộng ra khắp Âu Châu được và nay chính là lúc đúng thời để viết lại những gì đã xảy ra tại Âu Châu này với Phật giáo Việt Nam qua gần nửa thế kỷ.Viết ký sự không nhất thiết như viết lịch sử hay tiểu thuyết, mà tôi chỉ ghi lại những sự kiện theo thời gian cũng như những việc quan trọng đối với người xuất gia và tại gia trong bối cảnh Phật giáo Việt Nam phải hội nhập vào xứ người, đồng thời chúng ta cũng phải có một nhiệm vụ khác nữa, đó là bảo tồn cũng như phát huy nền văn hóa cổ truyền của Dân tộc và của Đạo Pháp tại đây, nên nhiệm vụ ấy chẳng nhẹ nhàng chút nào đối với những người tự nhận trách nhiệm phải hoàn thiện một cách khéo léo và thành công.
