Volker Schunck: 24 books

Die Stimme Gottes zu hören wird immer schwieriger. Das liegt nicht daran, dass er leiser redete, sondern die Informations- und Mediengesellschaft mit ihren Bildern, Tönen und Werbebotschaften entfremdet den Menschen immer mehr von sich selbst. “Innerlichkeit” ist für viele Menschen zum Fremdwort...

2ND IMPROVED EDITION 2016!!! I am, as you may also be, primarily an author and not a computer geek. I use Linux (Xubuntu) and don’t have Microsoft Word. I wanted to publish my first ebook with LibreOffice, but it didn’t work out. Then I became aware of Kingsoft WPS Writer, an excellent free alternative...

I would like to tell you that everything is O.K. and that life is simple. I often have the impression that it is so but mostly than when my life works out. When not, my life is often an emotional roller coaster. I assume that you may have made similar experiences getting attracted by such a title...

Love needs no words. No, love needs words – love poems. Because a heart that feels so strong can’t be silent and have to put its feelings in words. Girls and boys, women and men, feel inspired by my verses to write love poems by your own to those who are the most precious to you. You also find here some thoughts about the relation between love and sexuality.

The Revelation isn’t any longer a hot potato in modern theology. One put it ad acta under the keyword “Jewish Apocalypticism”. Already Luther couldn’t do anything with it. What can you do with it? Is it an exact road map for the end of the world? I’m surprised that a scripture with the heading...

Maybe I am blogging since 15 years. I changed the name of my blog several times, because for me the old blog titles didn’t fit anymore or I was keen of something new. With every change I always was afraid to lose my “old” readers. But what a surprise, a handful of my readers stayed faithful...

The Gospel of John is different to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). The collection of Jesus words sounds more like far eastern spirituality: e.g. “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.” “I and the Father are one.” Unfortunately modern theology let...

If somebody would asked me “What would you make different in your life, if you could start from scratch?” I would answer: “I would pray more and would trust in God more.” “Praying”, the trustful conversation with God is so naturally for the Christians like the air we need to breathe. That...

2nd Edition!!! - If somebody would asked me “What would you make differently in your life, if you could start from scratch?” I would answer: “I would pray more and would trust in God more.” “Praying”, the trustful conversation with God is so naturally for the Christians like the air we...

I can still remember my surprise, when Prof. Bienert, a church historian in Marburg, encouraged us to write down a personal creed, only for ourselves. A private creed? Maybe even contrary to the Apostles' Creed, with which we are all grown up? To listen to my own voice, my own heart, seemed to me...

To keep your identity in the fast, loud dog-eat-dog society it’s most important to discover and to cultivate your inner life. We are torn between Instagram, Facebook and Millions of images and opinions. To hear my own voice again it’s absolute necessary to go into silence. Here I show you a way...

In the times of facebook, instagram, whatsapp and snapchat it’s hard to find true love. What is really meant seriously or is only a game of flirting with symbols of hearts and blown kisses to feel superficially in love? Often you don’t want to meet in reality, because you are afraid of a real...

When Jesus wanted to show his female and male disciples what true greatness was, he placed a child in their midst: “Look, if you don’t become like this child here, you can’t recognize God. Believing like a child. Believing like Jesus. Jesus who carefree trusts in God, like a child in its parents....

Ich kann mich noch gut an die Überraschung erinnern, die mich befallen hat, als uns Prof. Bienert, ein Kirchengeschichtler in Marburg, dazu ermuntert hat, nur für uns selbst ein persönliches Glaubensbekenntnis niederzuschreiben. Ein eigenes Glaubensbekenntnis? Möglicherweise sogar im Widerspruch...
