It is all too easy to lose sight of the fact that Christianity is primarily about hope and joy, springing from 'the God of hope' (Romans 15.13). Here is a varied and compelling worship anthology, that is realistic about human weakness and its effects in the world today, but that rejoices in signs of hope springing up everywhere and reminds us of our calling to be bearers of hope. Prayers, liturgies and readings that are ready to use focus on - hope in the Bible - hope and faith in action together - hope as a response to hopelessness - false hopes and where we can safely place our trust - our hope for eternity Consisting of brand new material from writers around the world, here are inspiring examples of hope springing eternal even from the most unexpected places.
