Ann Voskamp

Ann Voskamp (* 1973) ist eine kanadische christliche Autorin und Bloggerin, die im evangelikalen Spektrum durch Bestseller wie „Tausend Geschenke“ internationale Bekanntheit erlangte. Ihre lyrisch verfassten Texte stellen Dankbarkeit und Gottes Gegenwart im Alltag sowie im Leid in den Mittelpunkt, stießen jedoch bei einigen konservativ-reformierten Theologen wegen mystischer Tendenzen und erotischer Sprachbilder auf Kritik. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre Veröffentlichungen Impulse für einen lebensnahen Umgang mit Zerbruch und die Suche nach Hoffnung in schweren Zeiten.
