When so much seems to be falling apart, it is a struggle to find ground for hope. In forty daily reflections, Christopher Chapman explores the nature of hope and offers ways of cultivating and practicing it. Avoiding wishful thinking or 'looking on the bright side', he offers a hope rooted in a God whose dynamic, creative breath is always bringing the new into being. This hope is incarnate and redemptive, forever coming along side us to renew what is broken. It is relational, drawing all into a life of giving and receiving. The door of hope is open and God steps through it with purpose and compassion.
