Welcome to my Finding Hope Web site and an opportunity to have a peek at my new book: Finding Hope In God's Everlasting, Intimate Friendship.
Is there more "hope-so" in your life than hope? Do you often feel discouraged, affected by moods and feelings that aren't quite "right" ?
Christianity is a religion of hope, It is the outlook to God's approaching good. It will not disappoint you or leave you wishing for something else or something more.
The Bible is your source of hope. The Bible has no concept of "hope-so." Hope in Christ is not a new message, but an old grace. It is the same message the angels brought the shepherds centuries ago.
Finding Hope in God's Everlasting, Intimate Friendship is an entertaining, easy read. You will both laugh and cry. You will not want to put it down. Each chapter has a summary of truths that give you hope. It's great as an individual read, or for Bible studies and church groups. It is an excellent tool for strengthening your faith and sharing your faith with others.

If you are discouraged and think there is no hope--no real and lasting hope, consider the sovereignty of God displayed in the snow! God can "fix" everything in your life that needs fixing. He is your health and your cure. Nothing eludes His skill or baffles His remedy.
"He [God] does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth; likewise He speaks to the showers and to the downpour of His mighty rains. God seals up [stops, brings to a standstill by severe weather] the hand of every man; [and now under His seal their hands are forced to inactivity], that all men whom He has made may know His doings [ His sovereign power and their subjection to it ]." (Job 37: 5-7 Amplified Bible.

Hope begins with the Lord Jesus Christ who takes us through life, death and into everlasting life with Him forever. Christ alone is the "real" we all need.

Faith in the Lord Jesus does not come about through human belief. It is not wisdom or insight that we get through reasoning and observation. The Bible clearly states that faith is a gift of God and is not of ourselves (Ephesians 2:8).
Faith is a supernatural grace. Everyone who receives it receives a forward look, by which we enter into a world of truth and reality. Faith enables us to go beyond the blindness of unbelief and the discouraging, dead-end exercise of no-hope and hope-so.
Our human faith accomplishes little, but God's supernatural gift of faith enables us to remove mountains of difficulties and problems (Mark 11:23).
God's gift of faith concerns "things hoped for" and "things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1), which are the things to come in God's great and holy purpose.
Faith is the substance or assurance of the things God has decreed from all eternity, that we by faith know to be a reality.
"Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title-deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality--faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses" Hebrews 11:1 AMP.
