A Fountain of Hope

One of the messages that comes across very strongly from reading this book is simply that God is always there for us and that he communicates with us in the right way at the right time. This book does just that, delivering the words of God in a way that epitomises this very message. It is a clear and interesting read that will pique the interest of anyone striving to find a fresh perspective on some of the issues that they may not be completely clear about.

In life, things don’t always go to plan, and this can be a real challenge. Many words have been written on the subject to try and help people find their way, but I found this read particularly refreshing as it asks some of the questions that so often are overlooked …and then the author answers them in a way that is clearly inspired from a deep held faith and is easy to understand.
Why is God never late? And why is that important? Why is he not interested in our past?

The answers may not always be what you want to hear, but that’s the point; the way ahead will always present obstacles, and the author deals with these pertinent points and projects the answers God gives us with clarity.

As I read through the pages I understood why the book is intended as the first of a collection that is centred around what is perhaps a sometimes misunderstood human emotion … hope!

Each chapter deals with different but related aspects of living a Chriistian life. There are many well chosen biblical references but also some well researched true stories that make the point very clearly. I love the story that is referred to in the chapter entitled ‘Do not change your nature’, it explains very clearly the point about why we are all different and how God always intended us to remain true to who we are in any situation.
