{"product_id":"tikvah-the-cord-of-leonie-nel-9798180533241","title":"Tikvah - The Cord of Hope","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat if the waiting season you're in right now isn't a prison sentence - but the very place where your strength is being forged?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTikvah - the ancient Hebrew word for \u003ci\u003ehope\u003c\/i\u003e - doesn't mean a wishful, passive longing. It means a \u003cb\u003ecord\u003c\/b\u003e. A rope, braided and taut, anchored to something that cannot break.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the story of Melissa - a woman whose outward success masks a deep, nameless fear - and two powerful Hebrew words, \u003ci\u003eQavah\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTikvah\u003c\/i\u003e, author Leonie Nel takes you on a raw and redemptive journey from anxiety's grip to hope's anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart story, part devotional, part action plan - this book weaves biblical insight, honest narrative, and practical daily tools to help you \u003cb\u003euntangle your heart from fear\u003c\/b\u003e and bind it to God's unbreakable promises. You don't have to live paralysed anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I have read countless books on anxiety and faith, but nothing has ever named what I carry the way this one did. The word \u003ci\u003eTikvah\u003c\/i\u003e changed everything for me - hope isn't a feeling I have to conjure up; it's a cord I can hold onto. I wept through chapter two and haven't been the same since.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sarah M., Cape Town - Verified Purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Leonie writes the way a trusted friend speaks - honest, warm, and without pretending the hard parts away. Melissa's story felt so close to my own that I had to keep putting the book down just to breathe. The 7-day plan at the end is something I return to weekly. A rare book that is both deeply personal and practically useful.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Anél V., Pretoria - Verified Purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I bought this for a friend going through a difficult season and ended up reading it myself in one sitting. The Hebrew word studies are fascinating - I never knew that 'hope' in Scripture was literally pictured as a rope you tie yourself to. That image will stay with me for the rest of my life. Highly recommend for any woman who has ever felt fear settle in like furniture.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Karen T., Johannesburg - Verified Purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As a therapist, I am cautious about recommending self-help books to clients. This one I recommend without hesitation. Leonie bridges the gap between faith and healing beautifully - she does not minimise pain or offer easy answers, but she does offer a real, scriptural, and practical pathway through it. The concept of 'storification' is something I now use in my own practice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dr. Natalie R., Clinical Counsellor - Verified Purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I have been a Christian for thirty years and this book taught me something new about hope. I thought I understood what it meant to wait on God - but \u003ci\u003eQavah\u003c\/i\u003e, the idea that waiting is actually an active braiding of your life into His strength, brought me to my knees. Read this slowly. It rewards patience in the same way it teaches it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Margaret L., Port Elizabeth - Verified Purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonie Nel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798180533241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Leonie Nel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49173566357759,"sku":"9798180533241","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tikvah-the-cord-of-leonie-nel-9798180533241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
