A Pocket Full of Hope was written for anyone who is desperate to find the light and the presence of hope when life feels dark and empty. Through thirty-one days of anecdotes, the author will make you smile, laugh, and cry while helping you to • increase your faith, • gain a new perspective on failure, • recognize God in your circumstances, • expect good possibilities, and • build your hope through Bible scriptures. When you have completed your thirty-one-day journey, you will have the tools to motivate and encourage yourself to get up when life weighs you down, see the potential for change in any situation, and teach others how to do the same!
