Life contains a rhythm when we see it from beginning to end. Our personal existence is not a series of individual episodes taking place as 'points in time.' Rather, life itself bears us along in a common pilgrimage. At any given time, we are part of a community where birth and death, joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, as well as sowing and harvesting are taking place. This communal sharing of life replicates all the 'seasons of life.' For each time in our lives there is a corresponding season in the life of the human family. We empower faith by practicing hope every day of our lives.

I was stirred to write this because I believe in my heart that there are many who are losing hope. With all the uncertainties and calamities going on in the world and our own personal lives I can understand this to some reason. But the main reason people are losing hope is that we are focused on the wrong things. We are looking at the wrong direction, listening to the wrong people, and getting all the wrong answers and promises from those who lie and deceive. Below is the first few paragraphs to my book which will give more insight: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” (Proverbs 13:12) I have this word “Hope” burning in my spirit in this season. I believe that there are many out there, although they may appear all right on the surface, are disappointed in their dreams, are fearful and worried, do not see a future, and are very troubled in both heart and mind. The lack of hope or seemingly not having hope at all is very disturbing and will bring you to great depression which will kill any ambition. I am here to say and to tell you and assure you that all is not lost. I want to assure you that hope is real and we all have a reason for hope no matter how dark your circumstances are and no matter how bleak your future appears. Our verse above tells us that hope deferred makes the heart sick. Deferred means to be delayed or to be postponed temporarily. I hope that you have grasped our first point. Our first point being that what you are hoping for is not gone or lost and not within your grasp and your future. It is just delayed and just temporarily postponed. If deferred hope makes the hearts sick, what does the lack of or the perception of no hope do to a person. Do not believe the lie that there is never any hope! There is always hope! That thing that you are expecting and dreaming about will eventually and assuredly happen and come to pass. Even if your at the end of your rope, hang on, push in, and press forward, there is always hope.

Living a Christian life is not the same as being a Christian. Knowing the difference stems from the fact most Christians don't know what to do about it because religion doesn't have the answers. The answer abides in knowing God and His will for you and applying your faith to it. In The Keys of Faith and Hope, authors Robert and Kathy Kelsey provide a guide to help you apply your faith and get you from where you are with God now, to where God wants you to be. It helps answer important questions: What is faith? What is the God kind of faith? How do we get faith? How do we use our faith? How do we make faith grow? What is the relationship between faith and hope? The Keys of Faith and Hope demonstrates that these questions need to be answered in every Christian's mind because without faith it is impossible to please God. To have faith in God you must know God, not just know about Him. To understand God you must understand the keys to His kingdom. Unlock the mystery of God's will and achieve what He has planned for you.

Gotta Have It! is every grown-up’s guide for taming the inner two-year-old. Too many people spend so much time trying to get what they want that they have no energy left to get what they need. Dr. Gregg Jantz calls this phenomenon excessity—when excess becomes a “necessity.” Excessities—whether they are activities, behaviors, or objects—promise protection in a difficult world. Yet they never satisfy. In Gotta Have It!, readers are invited to discover the truth about themselves that is hiding behind their secret desires. With real-life stories and guided sections for self-reflection, Gotta Have It will help readers see life as never before—and delight in the way God longs to fulfill true needs.
