Hope: It's More Than Wishful Thinking

By Amy Lyles Wilson

Hope for the here and now.

Hope can feel in short supply these days. Yet it is often in the waiting, the not-knowing, and the dark that hope quietly takes root.

In this small book of inspiring reflections, trusted spiritual voices across generations offer an invitation to discover hope again, for yourself and for your community. Joan D. Chittister, Frederick Buechner, Parker J. Palmer, Walter Brueggemann, Doris Donnelly, and others remind us that hope is not wishful thinking or easy optimism. It is a steady, faithful way of living toward what might yet be.

"Hope is precisely what we have when we do not have something. Hope is a sense of what might yet be."

Read one reflection at a time, in a quiet morning moment or at the end of a hard day, and let these voices help you find light for the path ahead.

Inside you'll find:

Short essays and poems on hope from beloved spiritual writers Reflections for anyone who feels weary, uncertain, or discouraged Wisdom suited to personal prayer, journaling, or small-group conversation
