Discover the freedom and joy that come when you open your heart to
Hope
This practical guide gives you the inspiration, encouragement and
practices you need to cultivate a hopeful spirit and thus live a more
fulfilling and joyful life. Writing from personal experience and her
broad knowledge of many faith traditions, Marcia Ford helps you
recognize--or develop--your own personal images of hope and create a
place where you can go to see the many evidences of hope in your life
any time despair seeps in. She provides important learning tools that
you can apply to everyday life experiences, inspiring personal stories
of hope from the famous and not-so-famous and realistic exercises for
creating the overall balance and peace you look to achieve in living
your life connected to God. Drawing from Christian and Hebrew scripture
and the wisdom of spiritual teachers from all traditions, Ford helps you
realize that we all can receive a gift of hope and grace from the
Divine--we just need to be open to accept it.
