Authentic Hope

Endorsement: "Although I have read many books on the topic of HOPE and have had many interesting discussions with many HOPE experts I found gems in this book that I have found nowhere else. Arnold writes in a way that the reader wants to keep on reading-he is a master storyteller and his stories anchor his research and his experiences. Linking Hope to intuition, emotion, the intellect, creativity and energy just opens up a new understanding of this elusive concept. Unpacking Hope as a mind and heart process and state was indeed revealing-Arnold's approach is fresh and original. I loved reading this book and I recommend it strongly to everyone --and I mean everyone. We cannot live without this kind of Hope."

Customer Reviews: Authentic Hope Book Reader: This book is born out of Arnold's passion for people to understand, live and give hope to others. The relational aspects of hope he writes about are based in his values of relationship to God, the source of hope, and community with others. The stories in this book are true life journeys of hope, faith and love. This book expanded my understanding of hope in the body, soul, and spirit. Hope is alive and is an emanating essence of a living Person. Of the hundreds of books I have read, this book is unlike any other book. It has completely expanded my understanding of the substance of hope. I discovered that hope is a living energy. I experienced encouragement and refreshing as I digested this book of insight and power. I relate to the many personal stories and found the content written with insight and relevance. Reader: This book reads easily while delivering deep truths about what Authentic Hope really is and that it is actually a substance that resides at the core of every human being. I recommend reading this book! Reader: Arnold has done the impossible. He has taken a word we could all define in our own ways and transformed it masterfully into a substance we can use in any situation. His book has transformed my idea of how hope can be brought into any and every situation of life. In all my years of research and study I have never found such an original resource as "Authentic Hope." I am not exaggerating when I say every person on this planet needs to grab a copy of this book and ingest it's contents until you too can bring Hope into whatever circumstance you face. He has covered hope as a stand alone subject. Hope has NOW been separated from any other subject. I have read resources covering subjects such as love, fear, faith, compassion, grief etc. but I have never read the subject of hope so thoroughly and brilliantly explored as what I found in these pages. If I could give it 10 stars it still would not come close to encapsulating the content and thrust contained in this Life-long work. I sense he has shared with us what he has personally waded through himself. Reader: I haven't finished your book yet, and I Likely never will. When I read a book I start sometimes in the middle or on what ever chapter that sparks in me. I've read a few chapters in the middle and I know I will read the end and the beginning as well. Then I will read it from the back to the front. Front to the back, and every which way in between. I love this book and have already written notes along the sides of pages and in the center of pages!!!! Brenda B. 3/24/16 Just a quick note to let you know how much I'm enjoying your book. It's tremendous. Am reading the "Breath" chapter again before continuing to the rest. I find I'm meditating a lot on the various passages. Very helpful. Grace W. 4/17/16 This is a wonderful and much needed book! It gives one a much larger picture on hope. This is a must read for very pastor. I ordered two extras to loan out! Helen C. 3/14/16
