Sometimes life just isn't what we thought it would be. Whether it is the loss of a job, an unexpected diagnosis, a wayward child, or even the never-ending negativity of the nightly news, sometimes you just feel like giving up. But what can you do?
It may seem too easy, but the answer is simple--and it starts with hope.
In The Power of Hope best-selling author Dutch Sheets shows you how to look to God during these difficult times and move into a place of motivation, desire and accomplishment--in other words, to rediscover hope.
Each chapter also contains meditations that allow you to:
- Reflect on the message
- Apply the inspirational truths to your life
- Pray about your specific situation
You can get through any trouble, rise above every disappointment, and re-enter life. "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13 MEV).
Never underestimate the power of hope!
Wow! What a great book. Dutchs books are like old friends. He pretty much told my story through this one. I've bought several to give to those that need God's touch, of Hope. I cried through the 1st 3 chapters, because of the truth, I saw in print . God is the author of good endings. Jeremiah 29 11 "For I know the plans that I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope for your future."
The Holy Spirit told me to pick up this book; I was really looking for the new one on His Presence. Then I was shocked because of the starting words about The Hope Tree, as the pastor I was under had been given a prophetic word about a tree being cut down. So I immediately gave him my book and went to pick up another! I can say that I didn't realize how much hope deferred I had; that every chapter led me to some challenging heart-searching moments. But at every turn, I found The Lord was there to meet me and to let me see me from His perspective as equipped to carry on the work He has assigned to me for His Kingdom! Thank you, Dutch, for a book I will feel privileged to pass on to many!
