Dr. Stanley has written an excellent title encouraging the reader to realize the true hope found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The book's chapters are as follows:

1. Created to Be Lovers
2. God Has a Master Plan
3. God Has a Personalized Blueprint for You
4. God Still Has More for You to Be
5. God Still Has More to Say to You
6. God Still Has a Need for You to Meet
7. God Desires to Fulfill Your Potential
8. God Has Promises You Haven't Experienced Yet
9. God's Ever-Present Help

I read the book a few years ago and have periodically referred to it when needing encouragement.

Read, enjoy, and be encouraged!
