We must fold our hands for everything that happens. We must not clench them into fists.

— Gordon MacDonald (b. 1939), Pastor und Bestsellerautor

Gordon MacDonald

Gordon MacDonald (* 1939) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der über Jahrzehnte die Grace Chapel in Massachusetts leitete und zeitweise der Studentenorganisation InterVarsity Christian Fellowship vorstand. Er steht für Werke über innere geistliche Ordnung und Leiterschaft, erlebte jedoch 1987 durch einen eingestandenen Ehebruch und den daraus folgenden Rücktritt einen öffentlich beachteten biographischen Bruch. Heutigen Bibellesern gibt er Impulse zur Selbstprüfung des eigenen Innenlebens sowie zum Umgang mit persönlichem Scheitern und seelsorglicher Wiederherstellung.
