How it started

Fred wanted to encourage his granddaughter, who lived two thousand miles away. So he began emailing her short, hope-filled thoughts. With his wife Susie cheering him on, those first fifty or so messages grew into a daily blog, and by the time the book came out he had written more than six hundred Words of Hope.

This book gathers many of them in one place. As Fred put it, In life, there is a drive, there is rhythm, and there is space. Each reading is short enough for a busy morning and deep enough to stay with you all day.

Ways to use it

  • Read one each morning with your coffee, then the scripture beneath it.
  • Read it aloud at the dinner table and talk about it as a family.
  • Give it to a graduate, a coach, a new parent or a friend who is grieving.
