The Reason for My Hope
Overview
You’ve just lost your job of fifteen years, sexual promiscuity runs rampant in your children’s schools, the financial safety net you’ve always counted on for your future seems unlikely. The realities of life make the future seem bleak and uncertain. However one thing has always overcome those living in seemingly unbearable circumstances—hope. Charles Stanley reveals the universal, yet extremely personal, reasons for remaining hopeful no matter what the circumstance. God’s desire is to restore, strengthen, and infuse the believer with life–giving, joy–filled hope.
