Life in a broken world is complicated, and does not lend itself to simple explanations. Where do we turn to help us find hope in this life? In this book, Hope in a Broken World, Joe B. Lamphere shows us inspirational stories in the Bible about godly men and women who have been preserved for us as examples of faith as a response to suffering, difficulty, and injustice. God's Word teaches us how the "faith challenges" of those who lived so long ago can shape our character and help us get to know the Lord better in our lives today.
Each chapter features a faith principle, a memory verse, a question to think about, and insightful ways to exercise faith not only when you endure trials of many kinds but how to persevere and rejoice in the midst of them.
Things are changing at a rapid pace. The good news is that God is in controleven when things look like they're out of control. God is still in control. It's encouraging to know that God takes broken hearts and spirits and kindly restores, heals, and transforms them. In these troubling times, there is hope. The hope we have is Jesus. Our hope in this life is anchored on the very promises of God, the character of God, the faithfulness of God, and the sovereignty of God.
