  Anchor Of My Soul

  $21.99

  Where there’s hope, there’s life.
  It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
  — Anne Frank

  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. Hope’s sustaining force helps us navigate life’s uncertainties and persevere through hardship.

  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, James Weldon Johnson, Helen Keller, Marjorie Pickthall, Christian Wiman, and others, interspersed with inspired art by Degas, Doerr, Hassam, Homer, Kandinsky, Pissaro, Redon, George Smith, Van Gogh, Vermeer and others, this stunning treasury provides comfort, joy, and solace in the exploration of hope.

  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.
