Through unique first-person testimonies by the disciple Thomas, the prophet Moses, the apostle Paul and the disciple John, God of Hope tells God’s story of hope versus despair, good versus evil, love versus hate, and life versus death, and together these stories describe the energy, passion, and brilliance of God’s mysterious plan for the universe and for us.

God of Hope, Inc. is a non-profit organization that combines the powerful tradition of storytelling, with the tremendous reach of the internet, to assist in spreading God’s message to those who do not believe.

Rather than threaten and judge, God of Hope tells God’s story to people who have questions in ways that they can hear.  It challenges and encourages seekers who are lost to listen to their hearts, believe, and become part of a community of believers.

God of Hope is also designed to equip the believer with tools and support as they work to spread God’s story throughout the world.

After reading Thomas, Moses, Paul and John give their overview of God’s plan for humanity, the author’s compelling presentation of his own story will have readers considering how the story of their own lives fits into God’s plan.

God of Hope is an inspirational book for both believers and non-believers, and can also be used as a study guide or curriculum for small groups (a separate study guide is also available).



Excerpt

Chapter 1
Playing Chess with God

I grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia, where my father was a minister at Vance Memorial Presbyterian Church. Growing up a preacher's kid was full of challenges. The congregation acted as the conduct police-rules, rules, rules-always watching for misbehavior. I thought of God as a distant, unfeeling, unfair drill sergeant. I was a borderline believer, trying to please my parents. I kept God at a safe distance, and unless there was a problem, I didn't bother Him so that He wouldn't bother me.
