Never call God good just because things are going well for you, for God is good even when things go badly for you.

— Hans Peter Royer (1962–2013), Bergführer, Buchautor, Leiter der Bibelschule Tauernhof und Prediger

Hans Peter Royer

Hans Peter Royer (1962–2013) war ein österreichischer Bergführer, Buchautor, Prediger und langjähriger Leiter des Bibel- und Freizeitzentrums Tauernhof in Schladming. Er prägte die christuszentrierte Erlebnispädagogik, die sportliche Grenzerfahrungen mit Glaubensvermittlung verband, und setzte sich für eine von religiösem Leistungsdruck befreite Nachfolge Jesu ein. Für heutige Bibelleser veranschaulichen seine Texte theologische Grundthemen wie Gnade, Hingabe und Gottvertrauen durch einprägsame Bilder aus dem Bergsport.
