Der offene Himmel Band 1

The idea for this book came to me when I remembered a hike with my then five-year-old son. Both of us, father and son, had a special experience of the sky. The sun was approaching the horizon and setting in a magnificent display of colors. It looked as if we could gaze into the heavens. Overwhelmed by this beauty, I said to my child, "Look, doesn't it really look like the sky is open!" My son then said, "Daddy, the sky is open!" The sky is open - God is turned towards us humans. Christ brought the Good News; he became human so that humanity could return to God. In all our concern for the earth, we must not forget the heavens. The earth is temporal, the heavens are eternal. The earth longs to become heaven. Finding heaven on this earth is what this book is about.
