How do we persevere when times are hard? When optimistic platitudes fail us and a positive attitude feels impossible, God gives us true hope through the promises of his Word. Christian hope isn’t flimsy and self-made. It is a sustaining certainty because it is not based on our state of mind but on the security of the character of God consistently and reliably expressed through his promises. In this 31-day devotional, John Crotts brings hope to the hearts of troubled Christians, using Scripture to lift us toward Jesus Christ, the anchor of our souls and the friend of sinners. See how God’s power, plans, promises, and personal concerns offer substantive hope for every kind of trial and failure, and use the practical exercises and thought questions to grow your hope every day.

 

Review

“Hope begins with thinking right thoughts about God.” This line from Hope summarizes the foundational truths about hope from God’s Word found in these pages. Hope is essential to a well-lived life, and it is essential to biblical counseling. You cannot care for someone’s soul without offering them hope. Hope is a wonderful companion, a co-counselor, to take with you into any counseling situation. -- Curtis Solomon, Executive Director, Biblical Counseling Coalition

It has been said that without hope a person will fail to persevere. John has written what I’d like to call “Spiritual B12 shots of hope.” We all need hope―some more than others, depending on what is going on in life. I encourage readers of this great book to take their own “daily dose” of hope in God and his promises and to spread it around. -- Stuart W. Scott, Professor of Biblical Counseling, Graduate Program of The Master’s University

Hurting believers often lack hope, and their problems are typically compounded by the fact that they are not consistently spending time in God’s Word. John Crotts’s thirty-one-day devotional does a wonderful job of addressing both needs. Through his decades of pastoral experience, he understands the despair into which God’s people often fall. He faithfully applies God’s Word to the hurting soul, often drawing from passages profound insights that would not occur to most of us as remedies for hopelessness. This devotional will get the brother or sister who needs hope back into the Word on a daily basis through bite-sized portions. -- Jim Newheiser, Director, Christian Counseling Program, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte; Executive Director, The Institute for Biblical Counseling & Discipleship

My friend John Crotts is a kind, caring, winsome, loving pastor. His biblical skill and pastoral gifts are demonstrated in this thirty-one-day devotional on hope. John speaks to many who may be broken, hopeless, and despairing. Whether for use in one’s personal devotions, in a small group, or even as a counseling tool, this book has so much to commend it. John has excelled in this devotional format, turning the angles of biblical hope like a diamond, bringing forth the true hope we have in Jesus and his hope-giving Word. -- Brian Borgman, Founding Pastor, Grace Community Church, Minden, Nevada; Author, Feelings and Faith and An Exile’s Guide to Walking with God

John Crotts is a faithful pastor and a skilled expositor. Both are well reflected in this biblical and accessible thirty-one-day devotional book, Hope: Living Confidently in God. John carefully chooses key passages on this topic and pastorally applies them to highlight the hope of the gospel and the confidence that knowing Christ brings to our lives. The best part is how John’s personal faith runs as a thread throughout the whole book, bringing real and authentic wisdom and encouragement to the life of any Christian who seeks to be reminded afresh of the unshakeable hope Christ provides in a broken world. I commend this book and its author. -- Brian Croft, Founder and Executive Director, Practical Shepherding; Senior Fellow, Mathena Center for Church Revitalization, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

John Crotts is my pastor, and he has written several books, and I have read them all. Two of his books have been my favorites, but now I have to add a third: Hope. Two words come to mind about this book: sweet and comforting. I highly recommend this book, as you will draw closer to God, and you will love it. -- Martha Peace, Certified Biblical Counselor; Author, The Excellent Wife
