Rediscover
eight
people
in

whose
hopes
and
expectations
went
from
disappointment
to
life-changing
transformation
through
Jesus.
Remarkable
Hopereveals
a
pattern
of
hope
where
individuals
were
surprised
by
Jesus
in
drastic
ways
after
they
placed
their
hope
in
him
and
were--at
first--disappointed.
Their
stories
show
his
work
was
rarely
what
they
anticipated.
As
we
observe
Christ's
faithful
commitment
to
these
Biblical
characters
who
hoped
in
him,
we
are
wowed
by
his
unseen
plan.
We
are
comforted
by
his
orchestration
of
circumstances
and
revived
by
his
enduring
presence.Remarkable
Hopehelps
us
gladly
declare,
like
the
apostle
Paul,
that
"our
hope
does
not
disappoint
us."

for
REMARKABLE
HOPE
"Shauna Letellier has done a remarkable service for those of us whose hopes in Christ at one time or another have buckled under the weight of some unbearable disappointment. She deftly moves between the first century and our own to give biblical precedent for the legitimacy of our own doubts, questions, and confusion. In doing so, she encourages us by showing that those responses are not distinct from biblical hope but rather are distinctive aspects of it. An affirming devotional for either personal or group use."—Ken Gire, author of Moments with the Savior and Windows of the Soul
"Few components of the Christian life are more necessary than hope, but what do we do when hope is shattered? Shauna tackles this question and its variants by guiding us through scriptural accounts of people just like us--full of confusion or consternation, facing a crisis or a crossroad--and how their lives were changed by the One who created, and is bigger than, our hope. Shauna's masterful storytelling drives us into the middle of a stark situation, pulls our heartstrings, and turns a mirror on our feeble attempts to determine what God is up to. This book helps align our expectations with powerful truth and shows us the deeper level of a true and lasting hope."—Yolanda Smith, writer and editor
"Shauna Letellier is establishing herself as a writer who can not only identify and clarify deep feelings and questions, but also bring Biblical meaning and help to people who need it. In Remarkable Hope, she again pinpoints specific disappointed people in the Scriptures and gives us a glimpse of what God might be about in their lives. And that is the genius of this book: We see God at work reviving hope in troubled hearts, troubled times.
Invitingly written, you'll find it hard to put down; and your soul will drink in these life-giving words. Shauna uses Biblical characters to show us our own need. She selects theological thinkers to reinforce application for us. This is a blend of substance and emotional connection, perspective and deep passion, help and hope."—Gregory C. Carlson, Ph.D., Chair and Professor of Christian Ministries and Leadership, Trinity International University
"InRemarkable Hope, familiar biblical stories spring to life with new power and perspective, and a newfound hope takes root in the life of the reader. Letellier has done it again!"—Cindy Lambert, co-author of Unplanned
"I readRemarkable Hopeduring a season of being blindsided by gut-wrenching disappointment. I'd lost more than hope: I'd lost all sense of direction. Vicariously experiencing Jesus reviving hope in these vividly retold Bible stories helped me regain footing in my own new narrative. In the tender places where your heart is broken, Shauna is a trustworthy guide, gently leading you toward healing, hope, and surprising joy."—Cheri Gregory, co-host of the Grit 'n' Grace podcast & co-author of Overwhelmed and You Don't Have to Try So Hard
"If
you're
feeling
sucker-punched
by
life,
if
your
dreams
have
turned
to
ashes
and
you
can
muster
no
hope
for
the
future,
hang
onto
the
hope
you'll
find
in
these
pages.
This
is
a
purpose
and
a
plan
in
the
struggle
you're
facing.
And
the
hope
God
offers
is
not
only
available
but
ready
for
the
believing.
Shauna
Letellier
has
written
another
dangerous
book
about
people
who
dared
to
fully
trust
in
God."
