Book Description
This book is about my life journey, about finding myself as I was lost in my fears and the battle with shame and guilt, and about how my spiritual life—guided by God—is full of twists and turns as I experienced his leading voice and as he silently toured me through it all: the struggle of an inherited fear of being alone; my suppressed feelings of hope for a better day through a life of pain, struggles, hurt, and disappointments; trying to reach, through faith and hope, a place of peace, happiness, and true joy within myself; being taught life struggles through shame, pain, and personal struggles; victory through inner healing and a meaningful purpose; the lost hope experienced in witnessing my husband’s murder; and learning that we can spend time helping others, never ourselves. We can carry others when they need carrying but leave ourselves behind with no one to carry us but God. Sometimes our heartfelt love for God is tested, and we should not allow that test to push us away from his presence. This is to encourage the reader that your hopes and dreams, which are in you, are put there as a goal and platform for your life. No matter how long it takes, keep hoping you will fulfill that destiny and keep reaching, and the inner spirit will guide you, help you, and heal you then place you in life’s purpose. You will learn that there is a hidden plan for everyone’s life, but unfortunately, everyone doesn’t push long enough to acquire it.

Book Description
In this beautifully written self-help journal, Dr. Frances Harris gives her readers a clear daily path that will reconnect us with God. She offers us a personal engaging perspective by referencing the daily ups and downs of her life and how it took a toll on her hope. She begins to visualize a ladder that reached high, high above the short-term turbulence. This book is the materialization of what began as a small encouraging spiritual whisper in her ear. The result became this step by step guide to enlightenment. Before this, she could not see the unseen presence of God's hand in her life because it was cluttered full of stuff. It took time, talking over and over again to God trying to listen then following through with what she thought He was saying or instructing her. She knew her life would be a step by step forward moving journey. With this book, she is inviting readers to hold her hand and join her in the most beautiful divine stroll you could ever take.

Book Description
For young people, the space of the drama classroom can be a space for deep learning as they struggle across difference to create something together with common purpose. Collaborating across institutions, theatres, and community spaces, the research in Hope in a Collapsing World mobilizes theatre to build its methodology and create new data with young people as they seek the language of performance to communicate their worries, fears, and dreams to a global network of researchers and a wider public. A collaboration between a social scientist and a playwright and using both ethnographic study and playwriting, Hope in a Collapsing World represents a groundbreaking hybrid format of research text and original script – titled Towards Youth: A Play on Radical Hope – for reading, experimentation, and performance.

Book Description
Hope has long been a topic of interest for psychologists, philosophers, educators, and physicians. In the past few decades, researchers from various disciplines and from around the world have studied how hope relates to superior academic performance, improved outcomes in the workplace, and improved psychological and physical health in individuals of all ages. Edited by Matthew W. Gallagher and the late Shane J. Lopez, The Oxford Handbook of Hope provides readers with a thorough and comprehensive update on the past 25 years of hope research while simultaneously providing an outline of what leading hope researchers believe the future of this line of research to be. In this extraordinary volume, Gallagher, Lopez, and their expert team of contributors discuss such topics as how best to define hope, how hope is distinguished from related philosophical and psychological constructs, what the current best practices are for measuring and quantifying hope, interventions and strategies for promoting hope across a variety of settings, the impact it has on physical and mental health, and the ways in which hope promotes positive functioning. Throughout its pages, these experts review what is currently known about hope and identify the topics and questions that will help guide the next decade of research ahead.

Book Description
There are many devotional books available containing brief, daily inspirations that benefit all who read them. This book is different in two respects. The first is obvious: it contains two readings per day—732 in all. The second, more important difference is that the author wanted to do more than offer inspiration; this would make this book no different than so many others. The messages in the book are study sketches in that the content is not only inspirational, but also educational, challenging, and encouraging. Most of these writings were based on author Michael J. Akers’s teaching of adult Bible studies for more than thirty years and learning what really brought adults to want to deepen their knowledge and application of the Word of God.
