The world is alive with evidence that compels mankind to hope. It is an insatiable human appetite. Poets have found it, and so have the wise from hard experience. This anthology draws from the greatest spiritual writers with a Christian insight through the centuries. Each of its 90 extracts, in verse or prose, is a pleasure to read.

Hope is not wishful thinking or a selective rosy view. It is based on the personal guarantees of God and is open to anyone. In a brilliant Introduction specially written for this updated edition, originally published under the title Comfort, Christopher Howse relates hope to the two other great gifts of belief and love. He traces the grounds for hope, from, intuitions of the natural world to the discoveries encountered in leading a life of the spirit.
