Résumé
--
Some books have a long gestation. They are constructed according to a carefully laid-out plan, and each page is written to produce a specific conclusion. The architecture of literary works is demanding, and their slightest words are modelled with infinite care their authors do not hide the trials and tribulations they endure. But this book is not one of those. It also had a long gestation, but the author was unaware of it. It didn't exactly write itself, rather poured itself out. Day after day, week after week. For years. A bit like a diary, with no care for continuation between today's page and yesterday's. Far from being written during a study or in the fever of creation, these meditations are the echo of a believer's reflection and prayers. More or less inspired, but taking care to transmit what the author has understood of the Holy Scriptures and their relation to today's world. Certain that our era is favourable to salvation, and that we must live it to the full because its duration is uncertain and this grace cannot be refused convinced that we don't have to travel the world in search of the Word, it is right there beside us: 'No, it is something very near to you, already in your mouths and in your hearts you have only to carry it out.'(Deuteronomy 30,14).
