Everyone knows and experiences crises. Not only the often-mentioned midlife crisis, but also stressful situations such as retirement, the departure of adult children from the parental home, illness, or even the death of a loved one can plunge people into deep crises. The path back to a normal daily life is usually very difficult. Roland Kachler expertly and empathetically shows what helps in difficult times. Using the biblical prophet Elijah as a guiding figure and many examples from his therapeutic work, he describes how to overcome crises. It becomes clear that especially during challenging times, we grow as individuals and in faith.
