Colours of hope

What gives us strength and confidence

  • Just in time: the new pastoral book by successful author Margot Käßmann

  • A wonderful gift for anyone who needs confidence, comfort and encouragement

Finding stability in uncertain times

 

The news is full of horror stories every day, many conflicts are coming to a head and personal crises are inevitable. It is difficult to remain hopeful in the face of all this and to confront our own fears. In her new book, bestselling author Margot Käßmann approaches these topics from a biblical and theological perspective, but also from a very personal point of view. She has had to deal with serious illness herself and knows the feeling of distress. But she also knows about the power of faith, love and hope. Perhaps this is precisely why she is a credible ambassador of confidence for many people. Illustrated with 14 full-page colour pictures and coloured sketches by the artist Eberhard Münch.

 

"For me, the Christian faith is a crucial anchor in life. I can find rest, peace, courage and hope in God. That doesn't mean that there is a life without fear for Christians. But they know where they can find support. We can hope together. And we are called upon to stand up for our convictions!" - Margot Käßmann
