About this title

Synopsis

The powerful, intriguing and highly amusing story of Robin Oake, a Christian police officer who has found a strong, sustaining faith through the tough times.

Is it true that a policeman’s lot is not a happy one, as the famous quote by W.S. Gilbert would have us believe?

Not according to Robin Oake, former Chief Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary. Asked whether the murder of his Special Branch son, Stephen, in Manchester affected his view of policing as a great vocation – and generally, ‘a happy lot’ – he urges us to judge for ourselves, as he shares his extraordinary life story.

With God on the Streets is the powerful, intriguing and highly amusing story of a Christian police officer who has found a strong, sustaining faith through the tough times. An entertaining, touching and often ‘laugh-out-loud’ account of an incredible life, laced with the infectious humour of a man who has really lived his life fully for God.
