Читать книгу How to believe simply - Andrea Pirringer - Страница 3

Dear Readers,

more than 40 years of my life are behind me now. Two thirds of this time I have - like many of you - spent with searching for God. It was a path with many twists - sometimes surprises -, setbacks, questions, doubts and obstacles. There have been periods of enthusiasm and resignation, idling and rising again.

In the last 15 years my faith became more intense, my personality riper, my thoughts clearer and I began to define my goals more precisely.

Just recently I had the feeling to be finally arrived “at the top”; to finally be able to stand on the summit as after a long hike.

Inwardly, I felt relief, liberation and joy. I thought to myself: faith's actually so easy!

The light and warmth of God shines around me today as the spring sun. All the fears and doubts are gone. God is my best friend - and that's wonderful!

This way to God, that has taken so many years, could have been also significantly reduced. The luck to feel the presence of God, I could have had much earlier. - Not God builds walls, but we ourselves obstruct the access to Him. – In order to recognize this, you need to be honest to yourself, you require sincere contrition and deep humility.

How easy it is to believe in God, would like to be shown in this book - so that you, dear readers, can save yourself some detours, and can get to your destination faster!
