• Augustine Augustine is another such very inspiring author. So far, I have read the confessions, listened to an introductory course on that, and I have read two little books 'The teacher' and something on the soul. I have also read 'The Trinity'. Based on this I wrote Love loves love and God's image Currently reading: The city of God

• Christos Yannaras I read Elements of Faith by Christos Yannaras. I found this a really wonderful book, very nice to read the eastern perspective on basic issues of faith, and also some very interesting insights on western culture. Also I really appreciated his explanation of how our true life is found in our personal relations with God and other people. This stress of our own personality and God being truly a person, and our relationship as the source of our life, was very refreshing. The language of the book is really complicated though, I’d say it is quite hard to read really. One sentence in this book, namely that we need the 'freedom to fail' inspired me to write the text Lovely Paradoxes.

• Kathleen Norris Kathleen Norris is my first and big example in writing. I was most comforted by her honesty and sharing her thoughts. She showed me how helpful it can be for others if you share your failures, and that it is really not selfish to write about yourself. The first book that I read of her was The Quotidian Mysteries. I can't begin to describe what a new experience this book was to me. I have also read Acedia & Me, another such very personal, and thought provoking work
