Who among us does not want to have hope? It lifts us up when we have fallen and keeps us going when we feel like quitting. The world's perception of hope is limited to matters of this life. The Bible's defi nition of hope transcends a worldly view and raises it to a spiritual level that benefi ts Christians both in our daily endeavors and in our preparation for eternity. Hope as it is presented in the Bible is not a mere wish or crossing of the fingers. Because it rests upon the rock-solid bed of God's Word, it is an assurance and confi dence that can help us maintain a powerfully optimistic attitude while it strengthens our commitment to walk faithfully with the Lord. You are invited to study hope from a Biblical perspective here. This book has been designed to challenge you with thought-provoking questions, excite you with some of the many promises God has made to those who walk faithfully with Him, and build within you the hope that is available through greater knowledge of God's Word.
