God encourages us to rejoice in God's gift of hope and to live rich, full lives of hope. And God's hope is an amazing gift indeed. Through this generous blessing, we are able to overcome all manner of fear, anxiety, despair, and depression, allowing us to live a life of joy and wonder that's rich with encouragement.
After working with tens of thousands of individuals and groups over the years, best-selling author and theologian Kennon L. Callahan, PhD, has discovered a number of practices and possibilities that can help us deepen and encourage this gift of hope within ourselves, as well as share it with others.
The third volume in a trilogy that includes Living in Grace and Living in Peace, Living in Hope contains inspirational wisdom and encouraging events that deepen our role as God's persons of hope and the boundless possibilities God provides for experiencing whole and healthy lives filled with hope.
By practicing one or two of these possibilities, God offers us the chance to ward off despair, depression, and disappointment, and to live more fully in his gift of hope.
