Reviews
Living Hope is the right book for our time! Paul Chilcote and Steve Harper combine their experience as biblical scholars, theological professors, respected authors, and caring pastors to lift up a soul-stirring affirmation of hope in a time when many people feel hopeless. Their survey of biblical hope from Genesis to Revelation lays the foundation for a rich variety of powerful examples leading toward practical tools for finding and sustaining hope. Living Hope is not only a book to read for information, but a resource for energizing hope in the world through the witness of hope in each of our lives. Read and be hopeful! --James A. Harnish, United Methodist minister; author of A Disciple's Path and Extraordinary Ministry in Ordinary Time As we navigate the overwhelming human tragedy of the Coronavirus, could there be a more critical time to keep hope alive? In a beautifully crafted text, with not a wasted word, Paul Chilcote and Steve Harper help us to do just this. They outline the biblical foundations for a 'theology of hope, ' offer glimpses into the courageous lives of hope-filled women and men, give reasons why hope is a good thing, and describe practical and accessible ways for us to open our hearts to God's gift of hope. As they do this, they both encourage and equip us to be an Easter Sunday people in our Good Friday world. --Trevor Hudson, Methodist Church of Southern Africa; author and lecturer
