This book represents ten years of writing weekly articles for the local newspapers. It began at a time in my life when I felt pressed by many things, not the least of which was the desire to express the word of God. I have always been taken captive by Holman Hunt's allegorical painting Light of the World, which represents the figure of Jesus preparing to knock on an overgrown and long-unopened door. This is the door of our own heart, which only we can open to Jesus. This book represents my Bible-based thoughts, beliefs and experiences on the other side of that door with Jesus.
