Hopelessness is a common ailment in our society. Even Christians are not immune to this widespread problem. Jud Wilhite believes that most Christians who feel hopeless misunderstand biblical hope as a promise of some future event, far away in time and space. But it is actually a tangible gift that can and should influence life today. In "Hope That Goes the Distance, Wilhite inspires readers to allow the future hope of heaven and Jesus Christ's imminent return to permeate their day-to-day lives in a positive way. Even the most mundane details of life take on new meaning when true biblical hope is understood. It can help make suffering temptation, and fear easier to bear and gives believers the freedom to worship and experience God in new and exciting ways.
