Hope. When you say goodbye to a loved one, lose a job, suffer ilness, or struggle to find self-worth, it can seem like nothing but wishful thinking. But when you're hurting, hope is the very thing you need. Spend time with Parker Palmer, Walter Brueggemann, Joan Chittister, Jim Wallis, and others, and let them remind you that hope is not just for the afterlife; it can be part of your life now. Christian hope will help you trust that you'll survive dark days. It will remind you that just as God has been with you before, God will remain with you forever.
