Book Description
We all want peace in our lives, in our family, in the world. But what we see is bickering, lies, fighting. Our jobs can be in question. Prices rise and our health can be declining. Where is peace? We are told that love is the greatest -but what we experience is misunderstandings and unforgiveness. Estrangements and divorce are rampant. People gossip and families crumble. Where is love? We are told that without faith it is impossible to please God. But where is faith when you feel like giving up? We can be so weighted down with disappointments and discouragement that we begin to lose hope that anything will change. Lord, Renew My Hope will help to renew your hope that you may ignite peace and love. Many have not lost their faith-they have lost hope. This guide can be used in small groups as well as personal reflection. Hope again! Sandra Fox is a registered nurse. She is also a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She has served for over 30 years as a women's bible study teacher and retreat speaker. She is an active member of Webster Assembly of God and resides in Victor, New York with her husband, Willard.

Soaring Hope
Author: Lynn Thrush
Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers
ISBN: 0768487765
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
See the world with hopeful eyes! Reading the Bible with an open imagination allows you to see the world as God intends. In much of the world the good news of God has been reduced to a personal, private, psychological interaction with God that gets one ready to go to Heaven. This version of the gospel does not envision God’s Kingdom coming on earth and His will being done here as it is in Heaven—thus hope for what might be is aborted. If you believe that Christian faith is largely irrelevant to world events and that Christians have little to offer history, Soaring Hope is a thrilling, clarion call to reality—the reality of life more wonderful than you have ever imagined! When assumptions of what cannot be done on earth are removed, and the Scriptures are allowed to speak their great hope that God is reconciling all things to Himself, then faith arises. Jesus said, “According to your faith may it be to you” (Matt. 9:29). As faith rises, the closer you move toward God. With Soaring Hope, you can snuggle right up into the arms of your heavenly Father—today!

The Privatization of Hope
Author: Peter Thompson
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 082237711X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The concept of hope is central to the work of the German philosopher Ernst Bloch (1885–1977), especially in his magnum opus, The Principle of Hope (1959). The "speculative materialism" that he first developed in the 1930s asserts a commitment to humanity's potential that continued through his later work. In The Privatization of Hope, leading thinkers in utopian studies explore the insights that Bloch's ideas provide in understanding the present. Mired in the excesses and disaffections of contemporary capitalist society, hope in the Blochian sense has become atomized, desocialized, and privatized. From myriad perspectives, the contributors clearly delineate the renewed value of Bloch's theories in this age of hopelessness. Bringing Bloch's "ontology of Not Yet Being" into conversation with twenty-first-century concerns, this collection is intended to help revive and revitalize philosophy's commitment to the generative force of hope. Contributors. Roland Boer, Frances Daly, Henk de Berg, Vincent Geoghegan, Wayne Hudson, Ruth Levitas, David Miller, Catherine Moir, Caitríona Ní Dhúill, Welf Schröter, Johan Siebers, Peter Thompson, Francesca Vidal, Rainer Ernst Zimmermann, Slavoj Žižek

The winemaker and the fig tree
Author: Elpidio Pezzella
Publisher: Elpidio Pezzella
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Was it morning? Was it evening? It was a long time ago when a field owner went to his land searching for figs. In his field, an expert winemaker took care of the vineyard which probably occupied most of the land. However, the owner was not interested in grapes. His gaze went directly to the fig tree but, alas, there were no fruits: it was not the first time. Who knows how many times in three years his hopes for sweetness were broken by the sterility of the plant? "It’s enough! This is the last time I can't find fruit", he heard screaming. The winemaker ran worried. At the sight of the owner, fearing for his work and for the destiny of the vineyard, he heard instead: “Cut the fig tree!”.
