Father Kanaga complimented the brothers for writing significant reflections and stories on the theme of Mercy. He enumerated that as Salesians, the publishing of a book is of prime importance and it has great benefits for readers across the world. This is a good souvenir for the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy.
Father Robert Pen, Rector of Divyadaan, thanked Father Savio Silveira - Vice Provincial of the Salesian Province of Mumbai - for encouraging the brothers to write their reflection and pen their thoughts on the Year of Mercy.
It was a great opportunity for the brothers to publish a book alongside the seasoned editorial staff from the Publication House of Tej-Prasarini.
'Revolution of Tenderness' is a collection of inspiring short stories penned by the young, zealous Brothers of the Salesian Order, raring to share their life-changing experiences with the rest of the world.
The stories encompass aspects such as the need for compassion; the power of genuine, active listening; the sharp contrast between 'talking and thinking with the heart vis-à-vis thinking with the mind' and amplifies examples of magnanimity and the logic of justice and grace.
A book of this kind will urge readers to be more proactive, in righting wrongs, so that we can reach out to a world that is almost at a 'tipping point', simmering in anticipation of an explosion. The 'Doomsday Clock' is ticking and the need to 'heal the world, make it a better place', is the book's war cry.
The cover design for the book has been conceptualised by Sathish Paul, sdb; book design and typeset by Surekha Gangurde; edited by Sharmeela De Vas; proof read by Verona Vaz and Father Mathew Couthino; printed at Intouch Graphics, Mumbai.
'Revolution of Tenderness' is a paper pack edition, 150 pages, ISBN- 978-81-87060-59-8, cover price of INR 150/-
