IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE –
GOKUL GOPINATH (5057)
This beautiful book of George Stephen
SJ brings you heart warming stories from
the lives of simple, ordinary people. No one ever thought their lives could
make much of a difference. And yet these stories show how they have touched
other lives and made a great difference as they respond to people and
situations with a caring and loving heart. Fr George Stephen ,once a dedicated
professor of mathematics, he shifted to family ministry and retreat ministry. His
extensive experience in the ministry led to the publication of his first book.
Indeed these
stories are a trove of simple acts of
human kindness and compassion which will certainly infect you as you read on
and make of you a more humane person. The heroes in this book have themselves been
transformed through their act of kindness to others. In fact, as the author
puts it, “these people have become part of the whole transformative
process. By these simple acts of kindness,
their belief in themselves, in their innate goodness ad in their own capacity has
grown. In a word, by giving life they have
become more alive and more human; by becoming more human, they have partaken
blissfully in the cup of the divine. The people in the narratives of this present
book are simple people who others thought would not make a difference by their
lives. They are people which the author came across during his ministry life . They
are ordinary people who went about doing ordinary things. But the manner in
which they perceived people and things, the way they responded with caring and gentle
heart, has made all the difference.
