Dr Jagannath Patnaik works as an itinerant witness to the love of God. He has been carrying on a highly commendable work. His books are written in an exceptional literary style, interwoven with imageries taken from day to day life and experiences, proclaim God’s love to everyone, irrespective of caste and creed. They have a universal appeal and are an inspiration to scores of people. Therefore your writings have a considerable shelf life and will be read periodically. I consider it a treasure for me. Your book The Veracity of Truth highlights your concern for plurality of our being human-recognizing and accepting the diverse singularities in a spirit of complementariness. I greatly appreciate your concept and approach, which underlines the fundamental texture of faith and life.
Your book is really good and inspiring. Congratulations. It is particularly relevant to one’s journey in today’s ecclesial context. Congratulations again for the noble effort. You have given important messages through anecdotes and stories which can create insights in people. It is really great that you have several books to your credit and surely you will continue to positively contribute towards this noble task. I appreciate all your writings and your sincere commitment. May the God be with you in all your endeavors.
In simple words you have given me a new life and new horizon of life. My life would not have been this beautiful like this if you weren’t in my life. I’m so so so lucky to have someone worrying about me more than you do and always blessing me and always ready to listen to me no matter how silly I talk. Your way of giving importance to every single thing in life have taught me lots.
