Anchor Of My Soul

Where there’s hope, there’s life.
It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
— Anne Frank
In a world often shadowed by darkness, where the flickering light of hope can seem distant, the pursuit of true hope is not just comforting–it is imperative. Hope’s sustaining force helps us navigate life’s uncertainties and persevere through hardship.
This beautiful collection weaves together classical and contemporary cherished works of literature, scriptures, poems, and songs paired with beloved works of art, providing opportunities for reflection on three aspects of Hope:
*A Patient Waiting
*Taut Expectancy
*Trustful Anticipation
With reflective works by Walter Ciszek, Emily Dickenson, Nikki Grimes, O.Henry, Julia Ward Howe, Victor Hugo, James Weldon Johnson, Helen Keller, Marjorie Pickthall, Christian Wiman, and others, interspersed with inspired art by Degas, Doerr, Hassam, Homer, Kandinsky, Pissaro, Redon, George Smith, Van Gogh, Vermeer and others, this stunning treasury provides comfort, joy, and solace in the exploration of hope.
May you look forward with expectation, not because of assurance for what the future holds, but because of confidence in who holds the future.
May you find strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
