Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.
—Maya Angelou (1928–2014)
To live without Hope is to cease to live.
—Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881)
Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
— Anne Frank
The editors at Paraclete Press have compiled a new collection of writings entitled, Anchor of My Soul: A Treasury of Readings on Trust and Hope.
This beautiful collection weaves together classical and contemporary cherished works of literature, scriptures, poems, and songs paired with beloved works of art, providing opportunities for reflection on three aspects of Hope:
- A Patient Waiting
- Taut Expectancy
- Trustful Anticipation
With reflective works by Walter Ciszek, Emily Dickenson, Nikki Grimes, O.Henry, Julia Ward Howe, Victor Hugo, Helen Keller, Christian Wiman, and others, interspersed with inspired art by Degas, Doerr, Homer, Kandinsky, Pissaro, Redon, Van Gogh, Vermeer and others, this stunning treasury provides comfort, joy, and solace in the exploration of hope.
In a world often shadowed by darkness, where the flickering light of hope can seem distant, the pursuit of true hope is not just comforting—it is imperative.
“May you look forward with expectation, not because of assurance for what the future holds, but because of confidence in who holds the future. May you find strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.”
