Psychology Religion / Spirituality / Self-help 7 Plieth, Martina Erdkönig, Christina/Ben Naoua, Emir Niemeyer, Susanne Bittlinger, Clemens Even the dead do not like being alone. Letting go and clearing up our past. Room free in paradise. Generosity. Zimmer frei im Paradies Großzügigkeit Auch Tote sind nicht gern allein Loslassen und Leben aufräumen The drawings and writings in this book vividly portray how children imagine dying and death to be, what emotions it stirs within them and what gives them hope. They provide ample opportunity for parents to speak to their children about death and encourage adults to consider their own attitude to death. Notes in the appendix provide valuable comments for further understanding of the drawings. Following the death of a parent the children need to clear out the house or flat, which can be a heartbreaking process as it is a place of special memories. The testimonies documented here illustrate how multi-facetted this task can be and provide valuable help for those newly affected. Psychologist Emir Ben Naoua provides useful information on dealing with confusing emotions. Susanne Niemeyer tells the bible stories as if they were happening today, right next door: Sarah s unfulfilled longing for a child, Martha hands in her notice at work, Eva loves Adam, Jacob makes his first million. The stories are about everyday life, about love and illness, homelands and death, joy and laughter. An angel touches people s lives and God is everywhere inbetween. Bible stories for adults. Generosity is the key to freedom. Those who just keep life ticking over, who calculate the value of each action, who are neither able to freely give nor accept gifts they will experience life as arid and constricting. That need not be the case. Life and indeed God himself invite us to be generous. Inspired by biblical stories and peppered with examples from our daily lives the author invites us to be generous to ourselves and others. 17,0 x 24,0 cm, 160 pages ISBN: 978-3-451-61294-7 ISBN: 978-3-451-61248-0 Weinrich, Wolfgang H.

Vom spirituellen Umgang mit Träumen Seelsorge Hildegard von Bingen Der liebe Gott kommt nicht voran Anselm Grün and Hsin-Ju Wu examine the images and language of dreams, outlining their significance for our inner journey in the light of western and eastern wisdom. Dreams are not simply indicators of our current situations; they can also be pointers to our inner consciousness. As God s forgotten language they can be places where we experience something very powerful. Numerous examples. This book provides valuable information and support for fulltime and honorary workers in their work in pastoral care. An indispensable guide that deals with basic skills: listening, dealing with fear and other emotions. It also provides guidance on how to keep a healthy emotional balance between being close and yet keeping at a distance. Science, spirituality and religion played an essential role in her life. Hildegard von Bingen combines what is still separated in Christianity: religious emotion and scientific precision, mystic contemplation and therapeutic knowledge, political courage and artistic creativity. Her visions of the unity of man and the cosmos, of godly wisdom and ecological crisis are still highly topical today. The cabaret artist Hanns Dieter Hüsch knew that God could play the accordion. That is why it comes as no surprise to hear that he likes sitting on the park bench, that he sometimes does not feel well and can be extremely angry.

A prophet of freedom Who is who in the Reformation? Hope and mercy. Who is Who der Reformation Hoffnung und Gnade Martin Luther - Prophet der Freiheit There is more to the Reformation than Luther, Melanchoton, Calvin and Zwingli. There were thousands of people who stood up for their beliefs and spoke out courageously against the abuse of their faith for political interests. This book presents around 200 personalities who formed the course of history. A reference book on the reformation: concise, entertaining and educational. During times of suffering and illness hope and mercy seem to widely divergent concepts, yet on the other hand they are words we often hear used together in this context, too. The sick and the desperate often have experiences of transcendency. Monika Renz, an authority on spiritual care, shares her experiences with the sick and provides guidance for relatives and carers. A last wish - to die at home. Creative ideas for caring relatives Klaus-Rüdiger Mai s biography on Martin Luther is a gripping read. He tells of Luther s life through turbulent times of change, his struggle for truth and his political work. He brings Luther to life as a son, father and a husband, as someone who found love and experienced great friendships. We relive Luther s hopes and anxieties as well as his passion for God and humanity. 12,5 x 20,5 cm, ca. 448 pages ISBN: 978-3-451-61226-8 13,5 x 21,5 cm, ca. 416 pages ISBN: 978-3-451-61252-7 12,5 x 20,5 cm, 208 pages ISBN: 978-3-451-61304-3 Der letzte Wunsch: Zuhause sterben Many people wish to die at home, in a secure environment, with family around them.
