Gudrun Zydek

Gudrun Zydek (* 1944) ist eine deutsche Autorin und Aphoristikerin, die seit Mitte der 1990er-Jahre durch Sinnsprüche und Gedichte bekannt wurde. Ihre Texte verbinden christlich inspirierte Werte mit lebenspraktischer Spiritualität und thematisieren Glauben, Demut sowie die Bewältigung von Krisen. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre prägnanten Gedanken leicht zugängliche Impulse, weshalb sie häufig in Gemeindebriefen, Kalendern und Spruchsammlungen zitiert werden.
