“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!”

“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
