What would I do differently if my life began again? I would stop more often along the way to smell the fragrance of the roses.

Ingrid Trobisch

Ingrid Trobisch (1926–2007) war eine US-amerikanische lutherische Missionarin, Lebensberaterin und Bestsellerautorin, die in Westafrika, Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten wirkte. Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch die mit ihrem Mann gegründete „Family Life Mission“ sowie durch praxisnahe Schriften über Ehe, Frausein und Trauerbewältigung. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre Texte seelsorgliche Impulse zu Partnerschaft und gelebter Spiritualität, während ihr traditionelles Rollenverständnis und missionsgeschichtliche Kontexte heute auch kritisch diskutiert werden.
