Never allow a disappointment to steal the joys of life. In the end, the sum of our lives is not a result of what happens to us, but rather, how we deal with it.

Kevin Gerald
Kevin Gerald ist ein US-amerikanischer charismatisch-evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der 1986 die Megachurch „Champions Centre“ im Bundesstaat Washington gründete. Seine Bücher und Predigten konzentrieren sich auf praktische Lebensbewältigung, mentale Gesundheit und das Erlangen von Gottes Gunst. Während seine Lesepläne vielen Lesern alltagsnahe Impulse bieten, kritisieren theologische Beobachter eine thematische Nähe zum Wohlstandsevangelium und die Vernachlässigung zentraler biblischer Inhalte wie Buße und Kreuz.
