A Future and A Hope

This book was wonderful and it helped me through some very tough times in my own life.....Jon Courson Pastors the Church I go to (Applegate Christian Fellowship) and he truely has been an inspiration in my life because he lives it fully for Christ and is a great teacher of the word...The Lord has taught me so much throughout my life through Pastor Jon..I love how the Lord gave him a "Peace that passes all understanding" through some very tragic events (both his wife and daughter were taken to heaven)...The Lord does the same for you and I no matter the situation when we put our hope in him...I gave this book to a few friends of mine as well with some great feedback...Lord Bless You Pastor Jon!

Jon Courson is an excellent Bible Teacher and author. I have heard many, many of his teachings. He wears his heart on his sleeve. I have read this book and it is excellent. I totally agree with the POSITIVE comments left about the book.

I have enjoy Jon's teaching style. He is always pointing to Jesus as the reason for our hope, inspite of all the confusing, hard, somtimes horrific trials we go through here. He doesn't come from a simplistic, 'smile God loves you' christianese place. He writes from the heart of a man who has experienced grief, anger and doubt, coming to the place of excepting and receiving the "peace that passes understanding" and trusting in the truth and promises of God's word. Jon's teaching style has taught me to see how God's word applies in every situation, big and small. In my everyday life, the small picky things seem to get to me the most. So applying God's word and truth in the small things, builds me up to face whatever may come. Life is hard, but God is the steadfast, faithful one, coming alongside me through it all. I have given this book to so many people. It is easy to read, short chapters packed with truth and life. The last chapter is Jon's personal journey of grief. I appriciate his being willing to share this with the reader. We must always hold out the hope to a world that is hopeless. Thanks Jon!
