God does not work

Three years after his resignation as a pastor and his bestselling success, Thomas Frings speaks out again. He writes about his searching and doubting, his struggle for a conception of God that challenges and requires courage. He presents a faith that takes God seriously and without which the church cannot survive. Thomas Frings is convinced that only such a faith is sustainable and forms the foundation of everything that constitutes the church—regardless of the denomination. The priest confronts the questions of why he believes what he believes and how he believes. "It should be about that which lies beyond church structures and attention-grabbing long-term topics. About the one, the ones, or what is referred to as God." He does not describe the teachings of the church but rather the development of his personal faith, which takes place within the church, but is not limited to it.
