The Word in their Voices: A Catholic Pilgrim's Journey through Scripture and Poetry - Paperback

by Augustine Jeyaraj (Author)

What if Scripture could speak to us not just through its words, but through the hearts of the people who lived it? In The Word in Their Voices, poetry becomes a window into the living Word of God-seen through the eyes of Mary at the foot of the Cross, of Judas in his agony, of the Centurion, of Peter, Stephen, and the unnamed ones who walked beside Christ. This collection invites readers to experience sacred Scripture as a living drama, unfolding in human voices that echo across centuries. Written by a Catholic pilgrim bearing the baptismal name Augustine, this book emerges from a life steeped in both healing and searching. After decades dedicated to medicine, the author now turns to the deeper healing of the soul, offering meditations shaped by personal devotion, Church tradition, and love for the Word of God. Each poem is paired with reflection and scriptural insight-designed not to instruct from above but to walk beside, as a fellow traveler might. These are not just retellings of biblical stories; they are invitations to dwell in them, pray with them, and live them.
