Nick Baines takes a look at the Christian meaning of Hope from an unusual perspective. For several years, Nick worked at GCHQ in Cheltenham, during which he came fac-to-face with many difficulties in a complex world. These were human difficulties, which had to be faced without the involvement of God. Because of this experience, Nick is impatient with simplistic, jargon-filled Christin explanations, which all too often ignore the real world and its many problems. As a pastor, Nick then had to offer comfort and advice while knowing that all he could do was suffer with them and it is from these experiences that Nick wrote Hungry for Hope. He draws on the Scriptures and on his dealings with the everyday world and addresses those whose personal world has fallen apart at some point.
