Synopsis

Book Description: Running to Church

"In the economy of God, all life is precious—from the womb to the tomb."

Arthur lives in the shadows of his own making. In a quiet pocket of Mumbai, he has retreated into a "womb of blankets and digital oblivion," paralyzed by the ghosts of a turbulent childhood and the heavy silence left by his mother’s passing. He is a writer who cannot write, a man who has stopped resisting the "low and persistent pressure" of a useless life.

But the stillness of St. Anne’s parish is shattered by a sudden, unthinkable tragedy: the death of young Albert, a boy who lived life at a sprint, "always running—as if he never knew that walking was an option."

As the community of Mulund grapples with the injustice of a life cut short, Arthur is forced to look into the mirror of his own isolation. Through a series of ordinary encounters—a shared glass of water with a delivery boy , the humble vulnerability of a struggling priest , and the steady presence of neighbors who refuse to let grief win—Arthur begins to discover that grace does not arrive through grand gestures, but through presence.

Running to Church is a raw and profound exploration of faith, mental resilience, and the "barefoot counseling" found in daily life. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt lost between "madness and badness" and is searching for the quiet, unshakable truth that they are—and have always been—a blessing.
