Advance Praise for

Holding On to Hope

 

 

 

In a world where so much attention has been focused on a Christian message of health, wealth, and prosperity, Holding On to Hope is like a beacon of Light, drawing the reader to God and God alone. 

Anne Graham Lotz, Best-selling author and speaker

from the foreword to Holding On to Hope

 

Holding On to Hope reads easy, runs deep, and enriches the heart! If you are stymied about God’s goodness amidst life’s heartaches, then this book’s for you.

                  Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends

 

Few people have lived—and continue to live—as deep a firsthand experience of pain and loss as Nancy Guthrie. For that reason alone her Christian reading of the story of Job should lay special claim on readers themselves undergoing suffering. But there are other inducements: the clarity, grit, and honesty with which Nancy explains how she has maintained hope and deepened faith where most would find only heartbreak.

David Van Biema, TIME magazine

 

Only God could orchestrate such events. And only God could give the Guthrie family the faith and courage to live them. May He use this story to strengthen us all.

Max Lucado, best-selling author, Traveling Light

 

Nancy Guthrie’s faith shines through some of the darkest clouds of human pain. This book and her story will touch your emotions and inspire your mind in an unforgettable way. Seldom will you read anything with such candor and insight, probing one of life’s toughest questions: “How can grief be a friend along life’s journey?”

Ravi Zacharias, award-winning author, Cries of the Heart

 

You hold in your hand a treasure that was mined in a dark and frightening place. With transparent honesty, Nancy unwraps the joys and sorrows of her life. This is a book about life and our God, who holds us in all the moments of this life.

                  Sheila Walsh, keynote speaker with Women of Faith
