READERS SAY:
“It was phenomenal! So inspirational! I have printed out a page that has much meaning to me and will be hanging it up in my office as inspiration.” – Mary
“Thank you for being brave enough to face the scary and therefore encouraging me to do the same. I'm a stay-at-home mom with an itty-bitty business and I am at a crossroads of determining new direction... your little ebook is helping me consider how to frame parameters for this business and to know what I really want from it.” – Amanda
“I laughed and I cried; and coming across it is one thing in a series of events God has orchestrated in my life over the past 2 weeks that have confirmed and cemented my own hope. It IS scary. But, your transparency and genuine-ness having taken some of the 'scary' out of it. Thanks for that.” – Shannon
***WHY THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU***
Because you’re not here to live a disconnected, depressed, non-contributing, helpless, excuse-filled, humdrum life. That’s hopelessness.
Because inside you is the drive to create, contribute, connect, and leave a mark. That’s hope.
Because we all need stories that encourage and challenge us so that we’ll acknowledge that drive within and cooperate with it. But that’s scary.
If you’re doubting, stuck, or hoping for you-don’t-know-what , this book is for you.
READERS ALSO SAY:
“I really needed to read it at this point in my life. I am standing on the edge of stepping out on hope and following a hazy dream I've talked about for a long time…my husband encouraged me to go after it with focus this year. This book has been such an encouragement that I am on the right track. I will be reading it over and over.” – Sharon
“I was so inspired and encouraged, I pulled my husband in to listen to me read it aloud. He's been unemployed for a year this month and had just returned from a job interview. He needed to hear your message about hope. We both took notes and jotted down page numbers as we read through it. You thanked your readers at the end for reading it. I thank you for writing it.” – Pam and Mike
***‘SCARY HOPE’ GIVES YOU***
…Inspiring stories of longing and change (the hope part).
…Encouragement to face the brutal reality that radical commitment is often required without any guarantee of results (the scary part).
…Brief scenes of encouragement from the hopes of Harrison Ford, Vincent Van Gogh, Sylvester Stallone, William F. Buckley, Oswald Chambers, Larry Bird, King David, the Apostle Paul, a WWII hero who never fired a shot, a baseball nerd who changed the game, a Vietnam War POW who wouldn’t give up, a writer who spent 17 years without a paycheck, a cartoon chameleon with Johnny Depp’s voice, and more.
Plus, scary, hopeful scenes from my own life as an alcoholic, husband, and nomad DJ.
YES! There’s hope!
YES! It’s scary!
***YIKES!***WARNING ON THE GOD STUFF IN THIS BOOK…
FOR THE NON-RELIGIOUS READER: This might be too spiritual for you. While I don’t have a religious agenda here, I also don’t hide from what’s normal to me. So, sometimes it might feel like I’m getting all spiritual on you; that’s just me being me. I’d still like to think you can appreciate most of what’s here without being too put off.
FOR THE RELIGIOUS READER: This might not be spiritual enough for you. While there is much here that references God and the Lord Jesus Christ, there is also much that doesn’t . You’ll have to connect a lot of the dots yourself.
***BONUS!***
Includes two free chapters of the upcoming FROM BEER TO ETERNITY: A LITTLE STORY OF ADDICTION AND BEYOND – the tale of a man who couldn’t change but did. That’s me. For anyone who has experienced discouragement and loss of faith because of an addiction (their own or others), this book will awaken hope.
