About the Author FR JAMES MCTAVISH, FMVD
Fr James McTavish is a Catholic missionary priest from Scotland. He is a member of the order Fraternidad Misionera Verbum Dei (FMVD) and is currently assigned in Quezon City in Metro Manila, Philippines as Novice Master of young missionaries in formation.
He graduated as a Medical Doctor from Cambridge University in 1992, before specializing in pediatric plastics (gaining his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1997).
He then heard the call of the Lord to heal the Body of Christ through evangelization "Give me life by your Word" (Ps. 119, 25). About his conversion he says "I realized that the Word of God is so sharp, sharper than any sword or scalpel. I just wanted to announce it and to set the world on fire with love for Jesus. As a plastic surgeon had enjoyed my career so much, trying to reconstruct various wounds but Jesus, the 'Good Doctor, asked me to reconstruct his people."
May this book allow more and more people to know and love the Word of God. As St Paul asks "that the Word can live in us in all its richness
(Col 3,16).
And may Mother Mary continue to accompany the whole Verbum Dei sol that our consecration to the living Word of God and our preaching of it may be a continual propagation of God's Life for all generations. Amen
