Doorways from the Word to the World is a reflective and beautifully written exploration of how Scripture opens us to God’s presence in everyday life. In this collection of essays and meditations, A. M. Allchin draws upon biblical themes, liturgical tradition, and the Christian spiritual heritage to show how the Word can act as a threshold—an entry point—through which grace flows into our lived experience.
Synopsis
Allchin presents a series of contemplative reflections that connect the depth of Christian Scripture with the realities of the contemporary world. Each chapter acts as a “doorway,” offering insight into how prayer, scripture reading, worship, and silence nurture an inner attentiveness to God.
Written with poetic sensitivity, the book invites readers to encounter the divine in the ordinary, and to recognise the transformative power of living in dialogue with the Word.
