A new book about discovering the treasure in, well, everything.

52 Reasons for Hope:
Finding Inspiration in Times of Trouble

These days, hope can be hard to muster. Bad news pummels, technology presses and everyday life looms. So how do we hold onto hope? We remember to reach for it.

52 Reasons for Hope: Finding Inspiration in Times of Trouble is a collection of wise and lyrical essays that gently shift your mindset from pain to promise.

Rooted in universal spiritual truths, each reflection tells a soul-nourishing story that inspires us to believe in hope and, in the process, discover the life—and world—we want most deeply. The problems we face—personal and global—are real but they needn’t do us in. 52 Reasons for Hope invites us to tap into the wellspring of resources we have inside and celebrate the blessings found in all of life’s complexity.
