This book captures the realities of India that is marred by gender and caste conflicts and economic disparities. What would Jesus speak and do in such a context is the question the author is posing. He is exhorting us to participate with God in making a positive difference in the lives of the most marginalised segments of society.

He is exhorting us to participate with God in making a positive difference in the lives of the most marginalised segments of society.
“The author of this volume breaks new ground by making a significant contribution to the field of biblical studies. He demonstrates the significance of re-reading the gospel narratives from an Indian perspective. This book is an essential resource for the modern discerning reader as it brings forth a unique perspective that is critical for the study of the gospels. I highly recommend this unique, eye-opening, and helpful guide to the Bible.”
- Dr. Jesudas Athyal, Editor of South Asian Theology, Fortress Press.
“I am sure the readers will be blessed and transformed as they engage with these power-packed reflections. I hope that the Spirit of God penetrate our own aspirations to see a just society pleasing to God, as we try to live out Christ’s life in our lives.”

The God of the Margins is a unique self-explorative and self-reflective lamentation of a Christian who does not settle with the comfortable reality in which our personal faith is strictly separated from the disturbing reality of everyday life.

The God of the Margins is a unique self-explorative and self-reflective lamentation of a Christian who does not settle with the comfortable reality in which our personal faith is strictly separated from the disturbing reality of everyday life. The author forces himself into the incommodious position of reflection over the line where our personal faith and understanding of Jesus Christ as our savior and redeemer, our noble principles on which we build our lives, collide with the rough reality of the street, the cruelty of social issues like discrimination, crime, ignorance, and poverty, and the seamy side of globalization. Ultimately, the author is intending to move us to become the real ambassadors of Jesus’ love, the love that is expressed in acts of siding with the poor and the oppressed making those in the margins as Heroes.
“Reading these poems will be disturbing for most of us, I know, but it can help those who are willing to gain a clear conscience before God and man especially in caring for the marginalized and taking a stand for Justice. The concerns and insights expressed in understandable poetic language enable us to follow the biblical mandate for providing the opportunity to experience life in all its fullness to all by bringing those in the periphery to the centre.”

Sound of Silence is the voice of the soul, a reflection for everyone who seeks to make a difference in the world around them. Poems and prayers in this collection are by great men from ages who craved for peace and justice.
It reflects the values and concerns for peace, love and justice, an invincible thread that binds the human race. Often there is a tendency to ignore the inner voice, the voice of the soul, when it speaks to us. Mahatma Gandhi listened to his inner voice in silence. Spending time in silence and in meditation helped him to hear the voice of his soul – his conscience.
The collection of prayers and poems brought out under the title Sound of Silence is codified keeping in mind the meditational purpose for anyone who would like to spend time to communicate with one’s conscience and hear the voice of God in silence.
