Merchant of Hope

Much like a dream deferred, in the face of the roadblocks and hurts of life, hope tends to shrivel up and fade away without proper care. But the God of grace gave you a bucketful of hope—and the responsibility to do something with it.

In Merchant of Hope, a guide to injecting hope into your life, inspirational speaker Bear Mills weaves together allegory and experience. He touches on many topics, including the following:

• How to recognize the importance of restoring and nurturing hope
• How to turn hope into reality
• How to distinguish between true hope and simple wishes
• How to cultivate your own hope and teach others to do the same

Mills includes real-life examples of people who’ve become successful merchants of hope by tilling healthy soil in their lives and fertilizing it with generosity and grace. He then wraps up his guide with “recipes” for success.

Unlike grace, hope comes with a price tag. You must have a stake in it, and you must be willing to trade in your fear and mistrust. Are you ready to buy in to hope?
