The Reason for my Hope is a brilliant book by an amazing ambassador for Christ. For seventy years Billy Graham has preached this message of hope and compassion – the message of the truth of Jesus Christ as the only way to God and the only way to escape our own sin and the sin of our culture and our world. Graham beautifully and humbly explains that the reason for our hope is salvation.
The book is well written in simple yet profound words. Graham carefully explains why we need to be rescued, what redemption is about, our problem with sin, and more. He gives evidence and examples and gently leads the reader through each step. Here are a few quotes:
•“When we are rescued from something we are also saved for something. When we are rescued by someone, we are indebted to the one who has saved us from disaster, impending doom and perhaps death itself.” 12
•You think we don’t need God’s law to rule us. “Would you like to get out on the roadways of the world and drive a vehicle with no signposts, no speed limits, no rights-of-way, and no stoplights to keep others from crashing into you?” Pg41
•“You will never meet Shakespeare in this life because he is dead. But you can meet Jesus Christ in this life because He lives!” Pg. 81
•“Socrates taught for 40 years, Plato for 50, Aristotle for 40, and Jesus only 3. Yet the influence of Christ’s 3-year ministry transcends the impact left by the combined 120 years teaching from these men who were among the greatest philosophers of all antiquity.” Pg. 86
This book could save your life! If you’re already a Christian it will deepen your walk with Him and increase your understanding of our reasonable faith.
