What is hope? Where does it come from? How can believers face the future with confidence—not with blind optimism, but deep trust in God’s plans? In Hope 4 You, First Place 4 Health National Director Carole Lewis examines the theme of hope as presented in God’s Word, and illustrates what hope is and is not through the real-life experiences of Carole and a number of her friends in the faith. Carole leads readers on an exploration of Scripture, which identifies the Holy Spirit as the Source of all hope. With this understanding, believers can walk with God (which restores hope), work with God (which renews hope) and wait on God (which revives hope). Carole underscores that hoping is never passive or inactive; it is productive, meaningful and full of purpose. Hope motivates us to take practical steps toward our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual goals.

4 DAYS A WEEK CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE "Too busy" is the number 1 reason people don't read their Bibles. "Too distracted" is number 2, even though 93 percent of Americans have 4 or more Bibles in their homes. Our media-driven culture keeps us from what could significantly change our lives-a relationship with God. Research from the Center for Bible Engagement shows that if you'll read the Bible only 4 days a week, you'll make better choices and positive changes in your life. But Christians who read the Bible less than 4 times a week lead lives that are statistically the same as unbelievers. Hope 4 Today is based on a 4-days-a-week schedule to help you revitalize your life. Endorsed by many influential leaders in Christianity today, Kathleen Cooke's short devotions will help you to seek God, grow in hope, share your faith, and stay connected to God in a distracted culture. Change your thinking from Bible-reading time to relationship-building time, and discover a vibrant, life-changing relationship with God. 4 days a week is all it takes.

This inspirational book gives strategies and ideas to educators who work with wounded students—students who are beyond the point of “at-risk” and who suffer from hopelessness. It shows teachers and principals how to understand, teach, discipline, and motivate these students. This book will also empower and encourage educators to give hope to all students and direct them on a path to academic and life success.

This book has a simple message for business leaders: you help yourselves by helping the poor. Instead of feeling as if the economy is working against them, the poor need to feel they have a stake in it so they will buy your products and put money in the bank. Supporting poor people's efforts to move into the middle class is the only way to enrich everyone, rich and poor alike.
