"At the present moment, with all the problems we face, we badly need hope," and reading Cardinal Martini's small book will go a long way toward providing it. Reflecting on his pastoral thoughts on the actions and teachings of Jesus and the Church will help us to live in Christian hope and proclaim this hope to others. This is an excellent book for parish group discussion. We can help each other to see the beauty and goodness in the world despite the struggles we face, and to know that Jesus is with us at all times and places.

Can you really trust in hope? Does hope sometimes feel like a risk that isn't worth taking? Bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel proves that hope is real, the true Source of our hope, and why we can trust it.

In The Case for Hope, Lee Strobel pairs his trademark investigative style with an uplifting message of the hope found in Jesus Christ. Strobel will walk you through why holding on to hope is so crucial, why we can trust in the hope of Jesus Christ, and how that hope can change our lives for the better.

Strobel will take you on a journey to discover:

• how to find hope in a hopeless world
• the source of real hope
• the hope of a transformed life
• hope for today and beyond
• hope that transcends doubt
• the hope of heaven
• hope for every person
