We should not deceive our children into thinking that the world is perfect. However, we should instill in them the confidence that the world is not beyond healing. This book aligns with the intentions of Johannes Rau. It is a unique bouquet of 100 short stories, quotes, and anecdotes. Hopeful and refreshing, it is narrated by Wolfgang Riewe, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Unsere Kirche. Each piece is connected to a word from the Bible. It is suitable for smiling, pausing, gifting, or reflecting upon for both young and old. With Bible verses and a detailed index, it is also useful for community work.
