This book seems as though it would be helpful for someone having a hard time emotionally dealing with the pandemic or any other hard time in their life. Some of it seems a little too reliant on God for my personal tastes, but so long as it’s to lift people up rather than tear anyone down, I can’t really complain too much. Thank you for the helpful review.

I can relate to this. You can lose almost any other thing and still cope. But if you lose hope, existence itself loses meaning. This book sounds like a good dose of inspiration.

This is so timely. I think I need this the most. I honestly feel like losing hope. I hope this book has a roadmap to create a hopeful and happy life. Will definitely add this in my list. Thanks

This is a great book to read. I believe the world needs hope right now with the pandemic, wars and hatred going round. Hope is a tool that helps against fight depressions, hatred and loneliness. It is well-recommended. Nice review.

It makes sense to me already that hope is deeper and much more lasting than optimism, but I'd like to see how the author uses his writing to differentiate between hope and optimism. We need more writing like this in the times we live in.

Talk is cheap, so I liked that the author included real stories of people who clung to hope and how it helped out in their situations.

I love that this book centered around hope especially in the midst if a pandemic. It's extremely sad that hope is not in excess and I think this book will be very beneficial for many, myself included.

This is a very insightful review. It brings out some very strong points. The one that most sticks out for me is that the author roots hope in some in real life situations. That's very hard to do with a seemingly abstract notion in our world today where, as you point out, hardship is destroying valuable things around us.

HOPE Rises by Dr. Randy Ross
This book is quite motivating. Life with its complexities even like now the era we are in of Covid, one ought to take a leaf from this book. Even on introduction on Martin Luther Jnr on his speech on "I have a DREAM. Yes times of encouragement are now than ever. Families are facing uncertain future prospects and lives are being challenge. I give this book 4 out 4." Freedom follows in the footsteps of hope. Embraced hope and your life will be set on an elevated trajectory.' I LOVE THIS ! This book is a master piece !!! When he says "This Covid crisis has confirmed that tough times reveal what Good times conceal " Shew what a master piece of life lesson .
