Many Christians struggle with discouragement, doubt, and depression as they pursue things of the world--better jobs, bigger houses, fancier cars--rather than laying up spiritual treasures in heaven. Shedding light on society's distorted view of hope, Nathan Busenitz, director of the Shepherds' Fellowship at John MacArthur's Grace Community Church, provides the power of perspective to help readers focus on the grandness of biblical hope. Each of thirty-one powerful chapters gives readers a sharp new perspective, enabling them to shift their gaze from the "here and now" to the wonders of "forever," for a life of greater purpose, power, and joy.

Rated: A This is a fascinating simple, yet well written with biblical references 31-day devotional book on "Hope." Since 2000, Nathan Busenitz has been associated with Grace Community Church lead by John MacArthur. Amazingly, I did not highlight any specific truth found in the book simply because it was truth well told as a whole.
