Hanging onto Hope
Reflections and Prayers for Finding “good” in an Imperfect World
by Melannie Svoboda
Our world is yearning for signs of hope, and Melannie Svoboda helps us open our hearts to hope, even in the darkest of times. Here she explores the relationships between hope and faith, love, courage, prayer, pain, and sorrow. This beautiful, touching book also offers short prayers and questions for personal reflection or group sharing. As she says, We believers know hope’s origin. And we know hope’s destiny. That origin and destiny is … God.

Dear Joan Chittister
Conversations with Women in the Church
Editor Jessie Bazan
In this groundbreaking book, ten young women active in ministry share their thoughts, aspirations, questions and desires with Sister Joan Chittister, a spiritual master and prophetic visionary who has long encouraged the gifts and voices of those too easily dismissed. The conversations unfold in a series of letters. Each letter writer shares an experience from her life or ministry, and Joan then responds with affirmation and challenge, sharing her wisdom, inspiration and courage with those vitally committed to the church.
The result is a powerful message that needs to be read by women and men, a book that confronts current realities, buoys future hopes and refuses to accept the status quo for a church called to embody the gospel message for a new generation.
