Book of Hope




If you are facing a hardship in life, pick up this book! There is a plan for your life, even if you cannot see it at the moment. This book challenges and encourages the reader to look at how your limits can be used by God. “Have the courage to pursue your own dreams, and never doubt your ability to meet whatever challenges come your way” (36).
The part that stuck out most to me was of a girl who talks to Nick about having conversations about God with her friends. She doesn't necessarily want all the answers... She wants to be able to put the puzzle pieces together on her own and figure out what she believes. This reminded me of college and the awesome adventure of making my faith my own, complete with conversations with friends about Jesus and what it means to truly follow Him.
This is a powerful book about Nick’s own personal challenges in life. He is unapologetic in giving glory to God; however this book is for everyone, not just Christians.
I reviewed this book for Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers Blogging for Books. I received this book for free in exchange for a review of the book.
