Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope?: How to Find Faith for Hard Times in 1 Peter

"When pain and problems barge in, our hopes and dreams march out. Unwelcome trials and troubles knock on our door like uninvited guests, and our happiness, peace, and security pack their bags. In uncertain seasons of personal crisis, national chaos, or global catastrophe, we wonder if life will ever be the same. Catchy Bible verses aren't enough to light the way, and we flicker between hopeless fears and hopeful fantasies. This. Changes. Everything. Where do we go to get our "old normal" back? The apostle Peter knows what it's like when all your hope is gone. He watched as his hope was arrested, crucified, and buried, and Peter publicly failed every test of his faith. Peter-and his elusive, unnamed wife-also know that God relieves our harshest suffering and redeems our heaviest regret. They will show us how to separate our hopeless or hopeful emotions and set our hope fully in Christ alone. The tiny space between these words is where God's power enters in! Bible teacher, author, and speaker Amy Lively guides us through this couple's beautiful story in the powerful book of 1 Peter. With her gentle honesty and just the right amount of humor, Amy will help you see that when you're at the end of the world as you know it, you're only at the beginning of Jesus"--
