Hope
Elizabeth McQuoid Most of us get hope all wrong. We hope for better health, a generous pay rise or good grades for our children. Our wishful thinking may or may not have a good outcome, but when it does, it never leaves us satisfied. This 30-day devotional in the Food for the Journey series shows us that Christian hope, by contrast, is guaranteed and eternal, dealing with certainties: Christ's death for us, his forgiveness of sin and our hope of heaven when we die.

Soul Fuel: A Daily Devotional Bear Grylls Bestselling author Bear Grylls has survived a free-fall parachute accident that left him with a broken back, possibly unable to walk again; falling down a mountain in the Rockies, severing a finger in the Vietnam jungle and a broken shoulder in Antarctica. But the hardest thing he has ever had to face, he says, is the death of his father. It was then, age 25, that he found what he describes as ‘a really lovely quiet faith that has been a powerful thing in our lives’. For the first time, in this book, Bear reveals the inspiration that helps him to stand strong and find peace each day. These daily readings - exploring themes of friendships, failure, courage, risk, and much more - show us all how to face each day with purpose and power.
