One’s ability to find hope in a seemingly hopeless situation is directly related to the ability to see God’s hand in that situation. If you are despairing…you are probably not focusing on what God intends to do in your life, and for His kingdom as a result of it.

Lou Priolo

Lou Priolo (1954–2023) war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Seelsorger, Dozent und Autor, der in Gemeinden und Schulungsorganisationen tätig war. Er wurde vor allem durch praxisorientierte Ratgeber zu Ehe, Erziehung und Konfliktbewältigung bekannt, in denen er die alleinige Suffizienz der Bibel betonte und säkulare Psychologie ablehnte. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er strukturierte Anleitungen zur biblischen Lebensführung, steht jedoch wegen seiner restriktiven Haltung zu Scheidung und des Ausschlusses psychologischer Erkenntnisse in der Kritik.
