Kaum einer kannte den deutschen Papst so gut und keiner war in den letzten Jahren so nahe an seiner Seite: Georg Gänswein begleitete Benedikt XVI. nahezu drei Jahrzehnte bis zu dessen Tod. Gänswein kennt Joseph Ratzinger als Glaubenspräfekten in Rom, er war einer der wichtigsten Vertrauten in seiner Zeit als Papst und er weiß, was wirklich hinter dem spektakulären Amtsverzicht steckte. Darüber spricht Gänswein in diesem Buch offen und ehrlich. Genauso schreibt er über die Jahre nach dem Rücktritt und das Leben mit »zwei« Päpsten im Vatikan.

George Müller was a Christian evangelist and director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England. The Life of Trust contains his diary up to 1860, supplemented by autobiographical notes at the start and throughout the text. Mueller founded a number of orphanages in England in the 19th century whilst refusing to personally benefit in any way, fully trusting that God would provide in his financial needs. Throughout his life, he relied on God’s goodness in order to feed, clothe, and house thousands of English children under his care.
