You've just lost the job you've held for fifteen years -- victim of another corporate merger.

Sexual promiscuity runs rampant in your children's schools and is encouraged by the popular media.

The financial safety net you've always counted on for your future seems unlikely to be there when you need it.

Crime, racism, and economic disparity are hitting closer to home.




For many people, the realities of life make the future seem bleak and uncertain. But throughout the ages, one thing has overcome wars, poverty, injustice, and fear to bring peace and joy to those living in seemingly unbearable circumstances -- hope.

Eternal, unshakable hope based on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can empower you to rise victoriously from the most desperate situations. Even when you are suffering, God is in control, perfectly present, able, and at work. To the hurting and the troubled He imparts His righteousness, His perspective, His wisdom, and His faith.

In "The Reason for My Hope," Charles Stanley reveals the universal, yet extremely personal, reasons for remaining hopeful no matter what the circumstance. He shares God's desire to restore, strengthen, and infuse the believer with life-giving, joy-filled hope.
