Anthology of Hope, An

Description

This remarkable collection of writings sheds light where there is darkness: all those who have suffered, whether through bereavement, illness, depression or other difficult circumstances, will find comfort and help in its pages. And there is so much more besides. Drawing on both religious and secular traditions, editor Campbell Steven shaped a volume that can, if read daily, constitute a journey from desolation to hope across a year, although it can equally well be kept at hand and dipped into at will. The carefully considered poems, hymns, essays, articles and quotations include both well-known pieces and those that will be new to most readers, while the whole is a treasure-trove of thought-provoking writing that will inspire, reassure, challenge and comfort. Already a word-of-mouth bestseller that has gone through five editions since it was first published in 1988, 'An Anthology of Hope' is as relevant today as it has always been, and is sure to speak to the hearts of many more readers in Lonely Scribe's long-awaited new edition.
