Love Letters Zusammenfassung

Love Letters Eberhard Arnold

Everyone's looking for true love, but few people seem willing to work at making it last. With separation and divorce so commonplace that most people see them as inevitable, it seems the very idea of marital commitment is fast becoming a foreign one. What's gone wrong? On Good Friday 1907, in the German university town of Halle, a young couple sealed their secret engagement with a kiss - and a vow to follow God wherever he led them. They were passionately in love, yet they rejected romance as the basis of their relationship, building instead on the promise of Jesus' words, Seek first the kingdom of God. Circumstance (and scandalized parents) kept them separated for most of the next three years. But that separation bore its own fruit: an intense flurry of letters.

Love Letters Bewertungen

Tony Campolo, Eastern UniversityMore than love letters. They show how a man and a woman can nurture each other toward spiritual maturity.Frederica Mathewes-Green, author of The Lost Gospel of MaryThese letters disclose the writers' burning commitment to the Lord above all else, and demonstrate how it became the foundation of the commitment they bore to each other. Such clarity and passion are rarely seen these days.Father Philip K. Eichner, S.M. Catholic League for Religious and Civil RightsA rare find. It is a privilege to be invited into such an intimate conversation.Prof. John Briggs, Oxford UniversityHere are letters of both immense intensity and the deepest intimacy, almost too sacred for publication. They witness to a deeply based love nurtured in the context of an absolute commitment to Christ.Brian Stiltner, Ph.D. Sacred Heart UniversityThis gem of a book pulses with spiritual passion, intellectual fire, and sacramental love. There is much to feed the reader in these loving, urgent letters.Prof. Lawrence S. Cunningham, The University of Notre DameThese inspiring letters interweave a profound love for Jesus Christ with a deep love between two young people, as well as an utterly transparent search to do God's will.

Über Eberhard Arnold

Eberhard and Emmy Arnold were a couple whose contagious faith sparked a movement of practical Christian community in Germany after the first World War. They renounced private property and the conventional church, choosing the early Christians as their role models. With unwavering conviction they walked resolutely against the prevailing winds, even as Nazism engulfed Germany.
