Bright Hope (eBook, ePUB)

Discovering Resilient, Sustainable Ways of Living through Even the Darkest Times

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Hope is not an attitude--it's a way of life. Therapist Ted Brackman, a colleague of Jim Wallis in the early Sojourners community, mines psychological, theological, and sociological insights in this practical and compassionate guide for "living well while ill." Ted's work was deepened by his eleven years with pancreatic cancer (after a nine-month prognosis). He developed and lived out a way of life animated by hope in the transcendent reality of God's future coming to us in the present. In his writing, he is an honest, inspiring companion: - for those who struggle to face the next hour with courage and strength. - for those who feel defeated and need a new way forward that reframes the present. - for caregivers and advocates who need new tools for replenishing both internal and external resources. - for communities of faith seeking to bring change to, and empowering hope within, marginalized populations. For all those ready to find a new way of living when false hopes and distractions are stripped away, to learn how to build a foundation for personal, communal, and social thriving . . . Ted Brackman offers Bright Hope.
