Infos

In a world where medical advances seem to promise cures for everything, it’s tempting to believe that we can live free of pain. But we know that even the best medicine cannot forestall death forever or solve the riddles of mental and emotional illness. How, then, to respond to the inevitability of suffering? And how to help those who live in fear of disease – people who spend their waking hours worrying about what the doctor said?

With confidence in the possibility of miracles, the Blumhardts point us away from our woes to trust in a Creator who is supremely wise and good. A father-son team who worked as pastors and directors of a resort for convalescents, they here give sixty short reflections each based on a verse from the Bible.

Autor

Pastor, politician, and author, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (1842–1919) with his unconventional ideas about the kingdom of God, profoundly influenced a whole generation of European seekers. Among the luminaries he influenced were Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Emil Brunner, Oscar Cullman, and Karl Barth. Yet his vision and witness are still waiting to be discovered by most Americans, few of whom have had access to his works. He carried forward the work of his father, Johann Christoph Blumhardt (1805–1880), who is regarded by many as the key figure of German pietism.
