      When Dreams Collide
    • Wunder tun ist harte Arbeit. Das muss auch Jesus erfahren, der eines Morgens aufwacht und völlig erschöpft ist von allen seinen guten Werken. „Nimm dir einen Tag frei, Jesus“, rät ihm der Doktor. „Ruh dich aus. Tu etwas, das dir Spaß macht!“ Dem Rat des Mediziners folgend verbringt Jesus einen herrlichen freien Tag. Doch dann nagt das schlechte Gewissen an ihm: Ist ein Tag, an dem er nur sich selbst Gutes tut, nicht ein verlorener Tag? Liebevoll porträtiert Nicholas Allan Jesus, seine besorgten Jünger und seinen weisen Vater, der ihm auf alle Fragen des Lebens die richtigen Antworten gibt. Und von Gott höchstpersönlich erfahren wir in diesem Buch eine wichtige frohe Botschaft, die im Leben manch frommer Zeitgenossen oft zu kurz kommt: „Nur wenn du selbst froh bist, kannst du auch andere Menschen froh machen.“ Ein Buch mit einem Augenzwinkern und ein ideales Geschenk für fleißige Pfarrer/innen und die stets aktiven haupt- und ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter/innen in der Pastoral.
