Title: Authentic Hope Subtitle: Possessing the Unfolding Future Author: Arnold J. Allen Publisher: Increase Hope Foundation, February 2016 The power of authentic hope is viewed from a living relationship with a real God and real people. With the understanding of the eternal, transcendent activity of hope, Arnold applies truth and life of the Spirit of God to everyday life. Whether in favor and confidence or grief and loss, authentic hope pulls toward a future filled with promise and destiny. Hope is described from the perspective of psychology, biology and spirituality. Gaining insight into the resources of hope in body, soul and spirit, the reader is challenged to position the heart toward partnering with the God of all hope. In discovering an energy of hope that matches the effects of morphine or the strength of spirit to avoid suicide, hope is illustrated by real life stories of defeat and victory. Guidance in practical, effective activities for fostering hope in others as well as maintaining a hope-filled lifestyle equips the reader to co-create a promising future. Whether dealing with hope deferred or understanding the partnership of faith, hope and love, this fresh look at authentic hope will be especially helpful to those wanting to strengthen their foundation in this Biblical truth.
