How great is it that God desires that we have hope? Think of everything that is wrapped up in that one small word: confidence, optimism, anticipation, hopefulness and faith. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "We must accept finite disappointments but never lose infinite hope." Hope isn't optional; it's essential to our survival.

This book offers eight "Havens of Hope" designed to provide strength and encouragement. You will discover the amazing wonder of God's care and faithfulness, feel God's healing and comfort and explore His promises, protection and joy. This section concludes with an invitation for you to bask in God's love.
