  1. Sounds really interesting! I'm currently asking myself a lot of questions about prayer and am sometimes really confused.

  2. Hello Kerstin,

    I am reminded of a sermon on the subject of prayer that I recently read on the ERF sermon network. The title is: The "Only-God-and-I-Prayer", 22 July 2010 by Stefan Piechottka. Before his current position in Marburg, Stefan was a pastor in our church in Hamburg for 10 years.

    Perhaps you will find inspiration for your book in the text?

    Best regards
    Marion

  3. Why don't you write down the questions and send them to Kerstin - that could be inspiring. Questions are often much more exciting than having all the answers straight away
