What if you knew how to live unafraid and unoffended in the face of disappointment and loss? Discover a biblical framework for understanding life’s most challenging seasons and keys for living in hope in the middle of the valley of the shadow of death.
We all face seasons of disappointment and loss in life. At such times, we often wonder:
- How do I find my way through?
- Was this God’s will?
- Why did this happen?
These experiences and the questions they raise can easily send us spiraling into despair and disillusionment—but they don’t have to. In The Way Back to Hope, Amy Calkins shares from her own journey of coming face-to-face with crippling disappointment and loss and how she found her way through. She does not offer good Christian answers or five-step solutions, but she does validate your pain, question some unhelpful (and unbiblical) theology, and point the way forward. The Way Back to Hope is an invitation to the journey from disappointment to fearless hope—a hope that stills the storm.
