What is hope? A feeling? Something you do? A belief or a cluster of beliefs? A way of perceiving the world? Is hope the same as wishful thinking?

Hope is complicated. Nevertheless, hope can make our lives better. In Understanding Hope, Philip Smith combines theology, psychology, philosophy, and his own experience of personal loss to help readers understand and practice hope. Understanding Hope is short, but it requires hard thinking. It's worth the effort.

Industry Reviews

“This is a careful, accessible account of the latest thinking on the virtue of hope, full of everyday examples and illustrations, and a measured argument for the place of hope in the Christian life, illuminated by his own experience of grief and loss.”
—Ross McCullough, assistant professor of theology, George Fox University

“Understanding Hope is essential in our day. Philip Smith’s thought-provoking read explores the essentials of hope through the lenses of spiritual faith and psychology. The vivid examples included inspire a considered exploration of understanding hope. Smith provides a rich window into how this life of hope is lived out through the appendixes of his personal ‘last walk’ essays.”
—Kristina Kays, professor of psychology, George Fox University
