The results of the Spanish elections demand a deep change in the way of understanding politics.

Emergent parties Podemos (left) and Ciudadanos (centre-right) get one in three votes. No clear government for the first time in democracy. 

New parties Ciudadanos and Podemos share their views about religious freedom and minorities. They would end the privileges of the Roman Catholic Church.

Anyone who puts his faith in himself has a short future. One of the biggest dangers of our day for both men and women is pride.

‘This song was written by one of ours, Sadhu Sundar Singh! A role model etched in each of our hearts,’ they yell at me.

The Spanish Christian association Diaconia, organised a seminary about human trafficking for sexual exploitation. Representatives of all political parties debated about prostitution.

All the way through that first night in India, bursts of noises from the streets climb all the way up the walls to infiltrate the badly soundproofed windows of my hotel room and arouse my Western feeling of security.

The discovery of a plane ticket to India in my letter box ten years later leaves me speechless.

A young company based in Barcelona (Spain) creates digital apps to share biblical stories with children, whilst supporting missionary projects.

While I am speaking, I sense very strongly that this woman facing me, a well-known medium, is being visited by a Spirit much greater than those she has welcomed up to this day.

Saying, ‘I want to make the most of life before following God,’ is to have understood nothing about what He is, nor what He gives.

Leaving the house this morning, I had the impression of being entwined in an entanglement of roots of insoluble problems… I take the path which goes inside the forest and which leads me to the feet of its God.

In five minutes, on the podium, it will be the decisive moment. The Spanish are going to hear me for the very first time. Curses, the toilet door is jammed! I am stuck in the loo of a paradise island: highly symbolic!

He stopped for a moment and noticed that I put a lot more into my wheelbarrow  than he did in his. He tried to impress me by wheeling my barrow.

The years have gone by and today, acting as if nothing was up, Luc announces to me:  “There you are! ‘The’ house is for sale!”

I am the blind and deaf friend of your King! Blind, because throughout my life, He gave me so many wonderful things, so much help, but I was almost unable to see it. Deaf, because He talked to me so often yet I heard so little of what He said…

At that time my church was in a place that was so out of the way that it had won the prize. Even the train doesn’t get as far as this village…

As worldwide interest with Bible reading grows, YouVersion developers say their mission with the app is simple: to help readers engage more fully with the Word of God.

In the evening the organisers of the meeting give me 3 mins. to speak to the big crowd. 3 mins. is very little, but in front of 13,000 people it’s a lot…What shall I say to them in so little time

The last novel by Javier Marias Asi empieza lo malo (“This is where it all goes wrong”) is about the fear of our lives being destroyed by those secrets which could cause earthquakes at a moment’s notice.

Did you know that God is the same whether we’re at church or not!?

The little guy is no longer there (saved), but what do I see ? He is now in the rows at the front and … Oh no! catastrophe, he is lighting up a ciggy (a ciggy in a church !!! My Christian side is thrown by that…!) It looks as if a big discussion ensues with Luke (my pastor friend)...

I go for a walk in order to pray but I put pressure on myself and talk to myself: ‘Man, Alain, it would be better if I got on with my work, I’ve got so much to do.’

During one of my tours in France, I meet an evangelist and his wife. When in the course of the conversation I happen to tell them my name, they stop talking. Their eyes, fixed on me, contain a strong emotion which I cannot explain.

That same day I am invited to a Brazilian VIP soirée, a sort of Oscars ceremony in Babylon, … I mean in Zurich.
