Shalom is the Hebrew word usually translated 'peace,' which means prosperity, harmony (within and without), completeness, wholeness, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, fullness, rest, the absence of agitation or discord, a state of calm without anxiety or stress.

John Eckhardt

John Eckhardt (* 1957) ist ein US-amerikanischer Prediger, Autor und Gemeindegründer aus Chicago, der in der pfingstlich-charismatischen Bewegung wirkt. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch Gebetshandbücher zur geistlichen Kampfführung, seinen Befreiungsdienst sowie seinen Einsatz für neuapostolische Leitungsstrukturen. Während seine schriftbasierten Gebetstexte vielen Lesern als alltagstaugliche Glaubensimpulse dienen, stehen seine Lehren zur Dämonenaustreibung bei Christen sowie Aspekte des Wohlstandsevangeliums in der Kritik.
