For daddies with heart and soul
Turbulent, cheerful, powerful and sometimes even strenuous: Children change life – and

and straightforward, relaxed and profound approach, Stefan Weigand gets to the bottom
of everyday life of a father and brings back many moments of calmness and serenity.

Desire to slow down!
When stress gets out of hand, you can literally run out of air. The number of tasks seems
to increase from day to day and the to-do lists grow. People train their “functioning”
throughout their entire lives, but stopping, dreaming and finding an inner calm are not
obviously part of the practice plan. Doris Bewernitz knows the experience of feeling lost
between deadlines. And she tells us about how she has discovered the secret of slowness
for her own life.

Understanding the language of dreams
Dreams are the language of the soul and can draw from a deep inner knowledge and
the wisdom of the unconscious. Then they are an important guide on the path of life.
This approach is discussed in this book by the renowned Jungian analyst Ingrid Rie-
del. Especially at the transitions into new phases of life dreams can clarify the upcom-
ing developmental tasks and give important advice for orientation. Understanding
the language of dreams can help us to better master the frequently crisis-laden times
of life’s transitions.

Because death is a part of life
The encounter with dying and death challenges us, bringing us to our limits. It is no won-
der that we suppress death and do not want to have it in our aliveness. So how do we deal
with the sudden loss of a loved one? Peter Kottlorz’s texts encourage us to no longer
exclude death from life. They provide us with words when everything seems pointless
and give us support when so many things become doubtful.

Poetic spirituality
“Words want to take root,” says one of Anton Rotzetter’s texts. The words of the well-
known Swiss author are rooted in listening to the Bible, as well as in his astonishment
in view of Creation. He speaks a language that goes into the blood like music with a
rhythm that moves us. Its contents have rhyme and reason. His gaze is directed against
a perspective that subordinates everything to its usefulness. These are impulses for
spirituality in harmony with life and Creation.

Vital force of trees
In all cultures, trees are life companions of human beings and symbols for life itself.
The love of nature and life with trees reduces stress and lets us blossom. If we want to
express it in these terms, the Bible has a rather dense stock of trees that starts with
the Tree of Life. Whether oak or cedar, cypress or terebinth, pomegranate tree or
vine, fig tree or olive tree, date palm or balsam tree, myrrh or frankincense tree – the
trees of the Bible carry a message from God for human beings.
