All Hope is Found: Rediscovering the Joy of Expectation

by Sarah Jakes Roberts

Hope is not a wish waiting to come true. It's not an external desire waiting to be realized. Hope is an ever-present reality regardless of how dire a situation may seem. Undoubtedly, there are moments when hope is obscure. That's because hope has many hiding places. It hides behind heartbreak, camouflages in stress, and disguises itself in grief. It only takes a few disappointments before our expectations are hijacked by doubt and disbelief. Hope is easy to lose and hard to find, but there is never a season when hope is out of reach. All Hope is Found , by bestselling author of  Woman Evolve  Sarah Jakes Roberts, will show   Inspiring you towards the pursuit of hope with a lens of compassion, Sarah serves as a guide who exposes the hidden hope that awaits you each day. Sarah is not shaking up your life with renewed expectation and the epic pursuit of hope for you to go back to your norm. She wants you to get out of your comfort zone and into your go zone—the space where the abnormal eventually becomes comfortable because you refused to give up.

I'm not going to rate this book because I know SJR is an excellent author but this particular book just wasn't for me. It didn't keep my attention. At this point I'm just holding the book up from being checked out by another patron. Time to give it up.

Good reminder about hope. This book wasn’t as thought provoking as Woman Evolve but it’s a quick read.

Thank you for sharing your gift, SJR! Couldn’t have picked a better time to read this and grateful for the divine timing in which it was sent 🙏🏾

I don’t really rate books like this — but what I will say is this. I will re-open this book many times in the future. I’m glad I bought a physical copy and encourage anyone who is looking for a different way to look at hope and expectation from a faith-based perspective, this is some true bread (nourishment) for your spirit.

Solid book on finding your hope in Jesus. I may relisten to it when I need another pick me up.

A beautiful inspirational Christian book.

[Angela Garcia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book carries a very timely message of hope and expectation for what God can do, but also how we can be active participants along the journey.

[Gabrielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

It took me a lot longer to get through than I expected. There were definitely some good points but I had Woman Evolve expectations and this wasn’t that.

[Natasha M. Nurse, Esq. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was excited to read this book. I love the idea of the book but sadly the takeaways weren't that hard-hitting or deeply memorable.

[Cherrelle Penn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Inspiring book. Anyone who feels or has felt lost or depleted by the things of this world this is a book that reminds you of the Hope available to us on a daily basis. All hope will be found after embarking on this book. Short read but powerful ❤️

[Mary Dobbs]

An easy read on faith and hope. Just what I needed to read right now. I’ll definitely reread.

insightful and inspirational book about Hope

[Ashly Roman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always find so much inspiration and wisdom from Pastor Sarah from her sermons to her books. God always send them at the right time in my journey. This book though small has so many thought provoking and wise thoughts that make you look at life and circumstances in a different way. There is so much to not only be learned but implemented to have a hope filled life.

[Jackie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Worth the read. I much more enjoyed the later chapters when she spoke in a way that I could identify with. She sounded like she was more comfortable, as opposed to reading something that she didn’t write.

[Juanita Pipkin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very short self help/self assessment book, more of an essay than a book due to its very short length. Some may find this helpful.

[Alvina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good Encouragement

Overall, the encouragement was good. This was a decent read and I hope that all who read it get something from it

I enjoyed reading this book. It read as the author speaks which was like sitting and listening to her in person. I appreciated the correlation between bible and real life experiences where we’ve put Hope on a shelf or ignored altogether. Motivational and uplifting! This book renewed my strength and gave me the hope to push forward in life. I am thankful for this book, the resource that has helps to guide my path .

[Aterra Lowe · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book.

I used it more or less as a daily devotional. I love how she takes a topic that can be complex and breaks it down into pieces that you can truly digest. Learning about how hope affects us more than we realize. This book challenged me quite a bit, but in a good way. I’m sure I’ll need to revisit it again.

[Diamond Jones-Cox · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great read to encourage you to train your mind and heart on expecting the goodness of GOD. The Author made me feel differently about using the word ‘Hope’ and praying. I enjoyed answering the questions after each chapter and going to my Bible to read the scriptures she reflected on. Looking forward to reading more from Sarah.

[Jorie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this book! There were a couple little nuggets that stood out to me about prayer. I’ve been struggling with prayer lately and I love how she explained it. She said prayer is a sacred exchange of our weakness for his strength. Prayer is where we lay out our hearts before God and receive his heart. Those two things just resonated with me.

[Jabulile Mahlangu · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading most parts of this book. Chapter 1-5 really spoke to me, after that it did kinda start feeling repetitive. I like that is a short read which makes sense considering the subject matter. Encouraging and definitely motivational to keep going if you going through a slump in your life. I will be reading some of the chapters again.

[Rylie Yawson · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5/5! This was a quick and easy read, honestly perfect for the new year. Sara Jakes is an anointed woman and this book has amazing nuggets of gospel truth and hope. It is not super thought-provoking, but will definitely anchor and encourage you.

[Rachel Hurasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the kind of book that you have to be ready for in order for you to receive the message. Hope is a constant battle for most of us, as it often brings disappointment. Sarah gives a different perspective to hope, and how its absence affects us. This is a must read.

[Sasha Shelton · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a quick read but nothing to write home about. There were a few encouraging words but I feel like there was a lot of repetitiveness going on. I’ll have to check out Woman Evolve. I heard better reviews on that one.

[B.M. Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you need a fresh dose of hope, this is it!
