This book facilitates the reader as they ‘dip’ into life’s mysteries in a gentle and thought-provoking way. Thoughts ranging from cups of coffee, ancient navigators, cycling and the challenges of technology draw the reader into the gentle embrace of God’s love and presence. 
Foreword by Dr Tony Bates



Using the format of his earlier books Dipping into Lent and Dipping into Advent, Alan Hilliard again opens up a space for us to engage with our emotional and spiritual response to what life throws at us. The loss, fear, isolation, and fragmentation of 2020 causes us all to pause and take stock of what really matters in our lives, so Dipping into Life comes at the perfect time to help us do this.  All of life is in these pages – absence and presence, loss, grief, laughter, believing, forgiveness, enchantment, distraction, gratitude, cousins, freedom, pints and play.



Alan has the rare gift of opening out our everyday lives and considering these in light of the wisdom of the religions, of literature, poetry, music, sociology and common sense. As we dip into this book, opening a page at random, Alan helps us to find the deeply religious in the everyday and take time to ‘cultivate reverence and recognition for what is already present’. There is an honesty in these pages that this is not always easy to do. Dipping into Life invites us to be enchanted by the complexity and beauty of our own lives as it is here that we encounter God.

Alan Hilliard is a former director of the Irish Bishop's Commission for Emigrants and the Irish Council for Prisoners Overseas. He has led campaigns to highlight the plight of the undocumented Irish in Britain and the USA, largely forgotten by modern Irish society. He is co-ordinator of Pastoral Care and Chaplaincy Service at TU Dublin. Previous titles with Messenger Publications include Dipping into Lent, Dipping into advent and Dipping into Life.
