Take Heart: Letters of Faith, Hope, and Love

Echoing Jesus’ words in their individual ways, 14 young writers offer letters of encouragement to their peers. Generously sharing their personal stories of failure, anxiety, pain, and heartbreak, they reach out to those who are struggling through similar experiences with the assurance that they are not alone. From the frustrations of job-hunting as a fresh graduate to the distress of coping with a chronic illness, from the agony of waiting to find the Right One to the grief of losing a loved one, from the burden of providing for a family to the uncertainty of grappling with unanswered prayers, the 30 letters in this book deal with issues most millennials face today. Rooted in the reality of living in a broken world as well as in the unchanging truth found in Scripture, these letters assure readers that God is always with them through good times and bad, that “weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning,” and that with faith, hope, and love, they, too, can take heart and overcome the world.
