The Grace of Hope

Accessible, compelling meditations that speak to the already devoted and to those still searching and will comfort and inspire readers of all ages.The tragic events of 9/11 have actually blessed us with a means of focus and a new perspective - the superficial has been pushed away to leave us with what really matters -- Faith, Hope, and Love. Each of these small but powerful books provides short meditations on the subjects from minister Pastor Bill Grimbol in words that help, words that heal. Faith -- that which concerns us most of all, and organizes our lives and our world. Hope -- that which enables us to make a difference, and create a saner and simpler planet. Love -- that which satisfies our longings and inspires our days. After all is said and done, these three remain. All else seems almost trivial; any efforts to be in control often feel foolish. Worries and petty concerns waste precious time if we hold on to these as an almost holy fixation -- Faith, Hope, and Love. Each meditation is followed by a prayer that helps readers zero in on the topic and make it a part of their lives and a series of questions for further thought. Read one at a time or the whole trilogy and go back to it again and again as a means of comfort, enlightenment, and inspiration.
