For four years, the author wrote a small column almost every week for the soldiers in the barracks where he served as a chaplain. Gradually, the readership expanded beyond the Bundeswehr. It is especially the small everyday experiences, as well as reports on events from politics, sports, or history in the media, or finds from social media, that Karsten Wächter examines to draw surprising, cheerful, or thought-provoking connections to biblical and Christian themes. An appendix includes a letter he wrote from Afghanistan to a prominent representative of the Protestant Church, which mistakenly made its way into the media and sparked discussion.
