<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Christian hope isn't self-made-it's a sustaining certainty because it's based on God's promises, not wishful thinking. Strengthen your heart with hope through 31 devotional readings and practical exercises"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>How do we persevere when times are hard? When optimistic platitudes fail us and a positive attitude feels impossible, God gives us true hope through the promises of his Word. Christian hope isn't flimsy and self-made. It is a sustaining certainty because it is not based on our state of mind but on the security of the character of God consistently and reliably expressed through his promises. In this 31-day devotional, John Crotts brings hope to the hearts of troubled Christians, using Scripture to lift us toward Jesus Christ, the anchor of our souls and the friend of sinners. See how God's power, plans, promises, and personal concerns offer substantive hope for every kind of trial and failure, and use the practical exercises and thought questions to grow your hope every day.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"John Crotts is a faithful pastor and a skilled expositor. Both are well reflected in this biblical and accessible 31-day devotional book, Hope: Living confidently in God. This helpful book carefully chooses key passages on this topic and pastorally applies them to highlight the hope of the gospel and the confidence knowing Christ brings to our lives. The best part is how John's personal faith runs as a thread throughout the whole book bringing real and authentic wisdom and encouragement to the life of any Christian seeking to be reminded afresh of the unshakeable hope Christ provides in a broken world. I commend this book and its author."--Brian Croft Senior Pastor, Auburndale Baptist Church Founder, Practical Shepherding Senior Fellow, Church Revitalization Center SBTS<br><br>Hope begins with thinking right things about God." This line from Inspiring Hope summarizes the foundational truths about hope from God's Word found in these pages. Hope is essential to a well lived life and it is essential to biblical counseling. You cannot care for someone's soul without offering them hope. Inspiring Hope is a wonderful companion, a co-counselor, to take with you into any counseling situation--Curtis Solomon, PhD, Executive Director, Biblical Counseling Coalition<br><br>Hurting believers often lack hope and their problems are typically compounded by the fact that they are not consistently spending time in God's Word. John Crotts's 31 day devotional does a wonderful job addressing both needs. Through his decades of pastoral experience he understands the despair into which God's people often fall. He faithfully applies God's Word to the hurting soul, often drawing profound insights from passages which would not occur to most of us as remedies for hopelessness. Another benefit of this devotional is that it will get the brother who needs hope back into the Word on a daily basis through bite-sized portions.--Jim Newheiser, Director of Christian Counseling program and associate professor of practical theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte<br><br>It has been said that without hope a person will fail to persevere. John has written what I'd like to call "Spiritual B12 shots of hope." We all need hope, some more hope than others depending on what is going on in life. Throughout this great book, I encourage readers to take their own 'daily dose' of hope in God and His promises and spread it around.--Stuart W. Scott, Professor of Biblical Counseling at The Master's University, Graduate Program<br><br>My friend John Crotts is a kind, caring, winsome, loving pastor. His biblical skill and pastoral gifts are demonstrated in this 31-Day devotional on hope. John speaks to many who may be broken, hopeless and in despair. Whether for use in one's personal devotions, a small group, or even as counseling tool, there is so much to commend this book. John has excelled in this devotional format, turning the angles of biblical hope like a diamond, bringing forth the true hope we have in Jesus and his hope-giving Word.--Brian Borgman, Pastor of Grace Community Church, Minden, NV Author of Feelings and Faith (Crossway) and An Exile's Guide to Walking with God (Free Grace Press).<br>
