I have never heard the second half of the Serenity Prayer, I don`t know Reinhold Neibuhr and have for several years tried to find out who has been written the Prayer. Please if possible I would like so much to have further information about this man, where he comes from ? why he wrote the Prayer ? I`ll be pleased if you`ll try to find out.
