Enduring Hope in the Aftermath of War, Loss, and Struggles of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798895261866)

My intent on writing Enduring Hope in the aftermath of war, loss, and struggles of life is to share how enduring hope is possible in the darkest moments of life. This is in the backdrop of losing our only son, a young army supply sergeant during the Iraq War. Also, my experience in meeting army veterans of the Iraq War who experienced hopelessness in their own deep-seated loss. When I began exploring God's Word in this eight-year journey, three factors emerged that empowers enduring hope:

God is the object of our hope.

God is sovereign.

God is trustworthy.

Each factor is grounded in biblical truth using personal experience and stories in scripture that highlights just how God is intentional to help us in our darkest moments and how His word comes alive to give us enduring hope, self-worth, and purpose. I explore the difficulties of human suffering and questions that challenge our faith and why God should be trusted at all. Life is a journey and not based on purposeless events. We are God's created masterpiece, and the book will show you how God will use difficult episodes of life to shape, strengthen, and direct us for His purpose to help others. The factors reflect who He is, and I am confident that the life application presented in each chapter will bless you richly with enduring hope.
