Finding Hope Again

Journeying Through Sorrow and Beyond

By: Peter Millar

This is a book of comfort and encouragement for all those facing difficulty or distress, based on the author's own story of the sudden death of his wife. Full of inspiring quotations and stories of hope and courage from all over the world, the text includes letters and poetry from friends and strangers alike - all pointing to the mystery of God's transforming presence. After his wife collapsed and died in a matter of minutes, the author's life was turned upside down as he tried to make sense of his devastating loss. Drawing on the very practical faith he had shared with his wife, he reflected on the world's greater sorrows: the many deaths from AIDS in Africa; the terrorist attacks in America; and the asylum-seeking children trying to fit into Glasgow life. In these stories, the light of Christ shines through human courage and kindness, pointing the way through sorrow to healing and peace. Peter Millar is a minister of the Church of Scotland and was formerly Warden at Iona Abbey. He is the author of best-selling "Iona Prayer Book," "Iona Pilgrim Guide" and "Waymarks.

Voyages of Hope

The Saga of the Bride-Ships

By: Peter Johnson

A line of nervous young women got off a ship in Victoria Harbour in 1862 and had to walk the gauntlet between two rows of jostling, eager men. One girl, proposed to on the spot, accepted equally quickly and left town with her new husband. Why did these women leave everything behind in England and come to the west coast? The answers lie in the lusty turmoil of a gold-rush frontier, the horrible disruptions of industrial England and the conflicting aims of earnest Christians and early British feminists.

Principles of Hope

By: Peter Nielsen

Peter has published his private and personal thoughts about God's grace and love to his own soul. It is often said that dynamite comes in small packages. This little book fulfills that adage. It will prove to be a living explosion of relevant and practical strength and encouragement from the Source of all wisdom, Jesus Christ, as it flows into your soul and spirit. You will touch God's heart of love as you read Peter's first hand responses to God's Loving instructions and promptings during his early morning quiet times with the Lord. His deeply personal and practical commitment to, and his undeniable love for God, will challenge you to walk the walk with him. When you know the story of God's love in his life, you will understand more fully why Peter often says his greatest desire is to finish his race strong for the sake of Christ. His passionate prayer is to live to see thousands of people, like you and me, experience the healing, hope and wholeness of spirit, soul and body, that he received through being committed to Christ.

Reason to Hope

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Reason to Hope

By: Amanda Peter

Reason to Hope is a true story of a young woman born into the privileged life of a white, middle class family in South Africa at the height of apartheid. Despite having a bright future with a promising career and prospects of marriage, she decides to forsake the freedoms, comforts, and pleasures of this world to follow God in poverty, chastity, and obedience - for the salvation of souls - inspired by the message of Fatima of 1917. Eventually, after a convoluted journey taking her across continents, she would become a temporary professed sister in the Missionaries of Charity founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Emotional, thoughtful, and spiritually enlightening, Reason to Hope describes the pivotal moments of Amanda's life with honesty and openness. With humility she shows the reader what she believes and why - even all these years later. This book is perfect for those who are curious about faith, religious life, spirituality, Mother Teresa, Catholicism or even just a different side of life that is rarely portrayed in our modern times. Its call to hope is an inspiration for all.

A Shot of Hope

Real Wisdom from a Real Sibling Warrior Providing Real Hope for Autism

By: Zack Peter

“Autism shakes up your world. It has changed my life and I wasn’t even the one diagnosed with it. My brother’s name is Ethan Wolfgang, but we call him Deets. He is one of the greatest gifts my family has ever received. And one of the most challenging.” So begins Zack Peter’s memoir of his family’s struggle to cope with his brother’s autism. And thus began Peter’s mission to ensure that his brother will one day live an independent life. He candidly describes his attempts to get his family on board with Ethan’s biomedical treatment and his fight against their reluctance. He relates how his life changes when he comes up with the idea of hosting a local fundraisers, which then throws him into the world of activism. He describes how this leads to his becoming a full-time advocate for autism. As everything in his life becomes more and more centered around “the spectrum,” Peter faces the personal struggle of being a voice for the cause while trying to maintain his own identity. Sharing the wisdom he’s learned in a voice that’s equal parts snark and heart, Peter offers a memoir that’s as funny as it is poignant, filled with no-nonsense advice and what he calls “The Hope Rules,” which are designed to help preserve sanity, dignity, and the will to stay strong. Whether you know someone with autism or not, Zack Peter’s refreshing take on his life as a sibling and activist serves as inspiration to persevere, even when the odds seem impossibly long. It’s everything you need to help keep your head up…like the bottom of your glass.

False Hope

Bone Marrow Transplantation for Breast Cancer

By: Richard A. Rettig,Peter D. Jacobson,Cynthia M. Farquhar M.D.,Wade M. Aubry M.D.

In the late 1980s, a promising new treatment for breast cancer emerged: high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation or HDC/ABMT. By the 1990s, it had burst upon the oncology scene and disseminated rapidly before having been carefully evaluated. By the time published studies showed that the procedure was ineffective, more than 30,000 women had received the treatment, shortening their lives and adding to their suffering. This book tells of the rise and demise of HDC/ABMT for metastatic and early stage breast cancer, and fully explores the story's implications, which go well beyond the immediate procedure, and beyond breast cancer, to how we in the United States evaluate other medical procedures, especially life-saving ones. It details how the factors that drove clinical use--patient demand, physician enthusiasm, media reporting, litigation, economic exploitation, and legislative and administrative mandates--converged to propel the procedure forward despite a lack of proven clinical effectiveness. It also analyzes the limited effect of technology assessments before randomized clinical trials evaluated decisively the procedure and the ramifications of this system on healthcare today. Sections of the book consider the initial conditions surrounding the emergence of the new breast cancer treatment, the drivers of clinical use, and the struggle for evidence-based medicine. A concluding section considers the significance of the story for our healthcare system.

Giving Hope: The Journey of the For-Purpose Organisation and Its Quest for Success

By: Robinson Roe,Peter Dalton

This book provides the synthesis and integration of the intellectual and experiential thinking around organisational leadership and development, focusing on three organisations as case studies: Plan International, Mater Foundation, and Oxfam, with the aim of informing For-Purpose, Not-For-Profit organisations about fundraising leadership. Working with the case study organisations, the authors observed a repeated set of six Fundraisers’ Dilemmas. Wanting to solve these dilemmas for Fundraising Executives and Teams was the genesis of this book. The book's premise is to point out that fundraising requires more than just coming up with the next “ice-bucket challenge” or having yet another gala ball, and that it requires the combination of the right fundraising activities coupled with the right organisational approach. The book provides, maybe for the first time, a real-world implementation for leaders of organisations in the For-Purpose and For-Profit worlds to create more engaged, collaborative and effective teams, which break down silos and deliver greater outcomes and impact for their organisations’ missions. The book combines inductive business research with deductive academic research to present and explain best practices in fundraising, with a focus on the concepts of Emotional Fundraising, Life Time Value, and the Donor Pyramid.

Despair and the Return of Hope

Despair and the Return of Hope

Echoes of Mourning in Psychotherapy

By: Peter C. Shabad

When unmourned experiences of helplessness and disavowed desires turn into a passive fatalism, people stop hoping for the best and fear the worst, despairing that the real world has anything good to offer. This can lead individuals to memorialize past sufferings through psychological symptoms and compulsive repetitions. Dr. Shabad discusses how patients, after many years of living a life limited by resentment, fear, and despair, can come to terms with their childhood experiences: a mother who can never be satisfied, a father who consistently buries his head in the newspaper. He explains how people can overcome hardships endured and losses suffered. The authentic spontaneous dialogue between therapist and patient provides the generosity and courage necessary to shed their now obsolete defenses and mourn what cannot be remedied or replaced. Rich clinical material demonstrates how mourning can bring about self-acceptance, and set individuals free to take responsibility for and live out their own personal truths. This is a deeply felt, and beautifully written tribute to the redemptive power of psychotherapy and to the regenerative capabilities in all human beings.

Hope and Heartbreak in Toronto

Life as a Maple Leafs Fan

By: Peter Robinson

For many, being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan has become a curse from cradle to grave. False hope, hollow promises, and a mind-numbing lack of success - these words describe the Toronto Maple Leafs and the hockey club’s inexplicable mediocrity over much of the past decade. Author Peter Robinson has attended some 100 games over the past six seasons and has little to show for it except an unquenched thirst that keeps him coming back. Why does a team that hasn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967, long before many of its followers were even born, have such a hold on its fans? Robinson tries to answer that question and more while detailing what it’s like to love one of the most unlovable teams in all of professional sports. Being a Leafs fan requires a leap of faith every year, girding against inevitable disappointment. This book tells what that’s like, how it got to be that way, and what the future holds for all who worship the Blue and White.
