Jakob Abrell

Jakob Abrell (1934–2003) war ein deutscher Sägewerksfacharbeiter, ehrenamtlicher Lektor und Autor christlicher Lyrik und Aphorismen aus dem württembergischen Altpietismus. Seine von einer alltagsnahen Frömmigkeit geprägten Texte und Spruchkarten thematisieren vor allem die Geborgenheit bei Gott, den Trost im Gebet und den Wert des einzelnen Menschen. Bibellesern begegnen seine pointierten Gedanken bis heute als seelsorgliche Impulse in Andachten und Gemeindemedien.
