A selection of different people's reasons for hope. In what often appear to be dark days, this book serves as a timely reminder of the hope we have. A hope that is more than just human hope; a hope that will last and that cannot be defeated. Each contributor to this book has their own reason for hope and each is personal and unique. As we read these stories, we begin to share in their hope and something mystical happens: change within ourselves. These people have discovered hope and are taking seriously the commission to be carriers of hope to a broken world. 'Real stories in our post modern world have power. They communicate more dynamically than well reasoned argument. My Reason for Hope contains fantastic stories of people from every age and background who share their story of hope. These stories touch us because these people face some of the pain, difficulties and joy that we face and therefore they encourage us and help us. I highly recommend My Reason for Hope .
