“For each and every one of us, the promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the promise of hope.”
The atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ is powerful but this earth life is exhausting and we are weak. This book is filled with ways to continue to strive in hope and faith. This book is beautifully written and encourages action and patience. I loved every minute of this book! It was so apropos for the world today. Give it a read if you are struggling with hope or just need a general pick me up.
