Klappentext:
The following collection in 4 volumes contains just over 60 short stories, each short story is based on a biblical passage from the New Testament like a parable and is applied to our time. A short time to catch your breath, a short time perhaps to reflect, a short time perhaps to delve deeper. Although Christ used everyday life for his parables they still leave a deep impression today. They are easy to remember with a hidden important message that we discover when we think about them. I invite you to take a deeper look at them and recognise the relevance for our everyday lives today.
The Gordian Love Tribe
Novel
Verlag: BoD – Books on Demand
Sprache: Englisch
ISBN-13: 9783695133437
Umfang: 162 Seiten
Erscheinungstermin: 18.9.2025
Klappentext:
A 30-year-old bank employee devotes his free time to helping others in need. Through this, he comes into contact with a young woman, a prostitute, whom he initially uses as a “tool.” Naturally, love develops between the two, but for a specific reason, it remains unfulfilled, and must remain so. Flashbacks, written in a distinctive linguistic style and transporting us to bygone times, describe the roots of the two characters, beginning several centuries ago in Europe and eventually crossing over to America, until Jenny’s “root line” ends in a dramatically escalating situation in Asia. A few general remarks are interwoven in a few places, as this is also a descriptive portrayal of various “manifestations of physical love, of sexuality,” in which we are all more or less tightly wrapped, trapped, or have been gripped with varying degrees of intensity over the course of our lives.

Alive, of course, at least for a short time. Murder motives that don’t want to reveal their secret and the simultaneous death of both suspects who, to make matters worse, are absolutely the only ones who could be responsible for the crimes. A tangled criminal string that seems to have been partially untangled by diligent endeavors, only to become even more tangled in the next moment and finally, seemingly lying in front of you untangled in a perfectly straight line.

Practice makes perfect. Hopefully this does not apply to the murderer, but to the somewhat bizarre detective Roxanna. She has solved her first case, or so she thinks, when life, or rather death, puts another case on her desk. This brings her into contact with a wealthy English gentleman at his country estate, who has amassed a considerable fortune with an unusual business idea. His somewhat strange-looking entourage makes sure it, the handsome fortune, stays that way. Among them is a complicated hunter, who is not only a little over-the-top in his language, and especially a monk who, with his incredible intuition, not only beats the inspector to it once, but also manages to bring his gentleman boss to his ice-cold destination before the inspector does.

The girl’s brother is present at this farewell to the doll, and suddenly he rushes into the waves to place his lion in the boat as another companion for the doll. He manages to do that, but then disappears forever into the dark sea. Some time later, another girl travels after her missing doll, and an exciting, adventurous journey begins with an unusual, surprising end.

Sprache: Englisch
ISBN-13: 9783695130689
Umfang: 136 Seiten
Erscheinungstermin: 1.12.2025
Klappentext:
This book tells the story of a boy who lives in a land ruled by a king. One day, a braggart arrives in this land. He possesses the ability to catch other people’s thoughts with his wild hair and thus guess them. When the king was once a little tired of ruling, he held a lottery; the winner would be allowed to rule his kingdom temporarily. The little boy Mugu won the prize and ruled the land, turning many things upside down. He even had to wage a war, which he did in a very unusual way. Perhaps in the end there were even two kings, one young and one old. I can’t quite remember, so I can only recommend that you simply search for the answer yourself in the stories of this book.

A noise in the water butt
Novel for children
Verlag: Amazon
Sprache: Englisch
ISBN-13: 9798251414448
Umfang: 124 Seiten
Erscheinungstermin: 9.3.2026
Klappentext:
A boy comes up with the initially somewhat crazy idea of catching the wind. He experiences a series of adventures at home, in his neighborhood, at school, in other places, and finally at a theater performance that takes place in heaven. There is not much more to say about this book at this point; anyone who wants to can dive right into the stories. Others are welcome to read an introductory story to the book first, which reflects a little on this strange constellation, on children, and on adults.
This brief introduction and the introductory story that follows are intended to show that this book is also targeted at children when they grow up, perhaps also at awakening adults, and thus to some extent at everyone. These are stories about the beginning of a wonderful friendship, a friendship between a boy and the wind, and since the wind can be found everywhere and is at home everywhere, this is a book for everyone, regardless of age and regardless of where they are in the world.
