I just read a new book by Davis Bunn, The Turning. It was a very good book that really makes you think. It is about hope in Jesus Christ. I had never really thought about it before, I looked at my husband and said, what about faith? He pointed out that hope is listed through out the entire Bible and wrote down all of the passages for me. We have hope in the salvation that Jesus offers us. Having hope is an amazing thing. I actually started a devotion about it in my little devotion book. Davis has several devotions to go with the book also. I'll be studying those this week!
Five complete strangers hear a message from God and come together as prayer warriors trying to do God's will. They find that it is not always easy to do what God wants you to do but He is always watching over them and protecting them. They have to stand against the entertainment industry who is trying to crush their message. If you want a thought provoking book that is full of suspense, this is it.

God has reminded me, with a very direct affirmation, that He is always there and always listening! A friend was going through a deep emotional turmoil. We had talked for hours and she was still overwrought. Before I went to bed that evening I asked God to please just give her peace enough for her to get a good night's rest so she could "deal" again the next day. It was 11:00 pm exactly. The next evening I was speaking to my friend and she told me that at 11:00 exactly (she looked at the clock because the sensation was so unusual) she suddenly felt herself enveloped in peace and she fell asleep and slept the whole night through. I have no doubt...He is always listening, always loving and always guiding us through our lives.
Your post started a discussion in our home about faith and hope between DH and I. He is playing hooky from work because he insisted he had to go to the DR. with me today.
I thought that was a marvelous book -- I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Having faith gives us hope, and, having hope reinforces our faith.
I think God communicates to me through feelings. So the most recent being that I haven't been to church in like a bazillion years and I kind of feel like I should find one to go to. Anyways, the book looks awesome.
