About the book cover: “At the beginning of the deacon formation program, we were advised to fill up our barrel so that we can later draw from it. Now, my residence Inzersdorf has a long tradition in canned food rather than barrels.”
From the Fear of Failure to Walking by Faith
What if you were going to write one more book? What would it be about? What about a farewell to reluctant hesitation and a motivation to break new ground? A book that impresses with a broad range of topics – from change agility all the way to the final change. A fun read about intercultural misunderstandings and handling trials of life.
So I went on and wrote not one but three books:
- “Bu Dong. When Strange Things Become Familiar” is filled with insights from my extensive work-related travel. I completed it during serious illness, and it was published to celebrate my return to “normal life.”
- “So Long. Encouraging Texts for Change Sceptics” is all about the struggle with “crises and crocodiles” and my growing devotion to theological themes. It is dedicated to my dear wife who much too early was called to eternity.
- The new book, “Be Strong! When we are weak, we find real strength” collects impressions from my training in theology, engagement in liturgy and charity. An entertaining “thought goulash” spiced with formative experiences and sermon morsels about the strengthening power of faith in times of crisis.
All publications available in English language as well as in German editions.
