Half-Hearted Hope by Amy Koslowski Pdf

Hope's diagnosis shook us to the core. We barely understood the doctor's words. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. How could our baby girl, still safe inside my womb, be alive with only half of a heart? In an instant, our lives became marked by uncertainty and fear. Doubt became our constant companion, with more questions at every turn. Would Hope survive past birth? What kind of life would she live? How can a good God allow the unbearable pain of watching a child struggle to survive?This story chronicles our family's journey with Hope, navigating the unpredictability of life with a critically ill child. Weeks in the hospital turn into months, surgeries are booked and delayed, and Hope continually baffles doctors with an impressive list of unexpected complications. With her survival consistently in doubt, the burden of her struggle becomes almost unbearable for those of us closest to her. Faith that was once taken for granted is stretched beyond measure. Can we still acknowledge the goodness of God and give Him glory when His plans bring us so much pain?Using excerpts from the family blog written during Hope's battle, this book provides insight into the raw, unfiltered emotions of those walking alongside Hope, from overwhelming joy to the depths of sorrow. Although the blog started as a way to update family on Hope's condition, it soon became a worldwide call to prayer, reaching people in over 100 different countries and attracting 1.7 million views. Through the blog, many people heard the good news of Jesus for the first time, bringing a beautiful purpose to Hope's pain. The influence of this one little life is undeniable - in God's hands, her story furthered the kingdom of God.

A Philosophical Analysis of Hope by J. Waterworth Pdf

Despite the familiarity of hope in human experience, it is a phenomenon infrequently considered from a philosophical point of view. This book charts the centrality of hope in thought and action from first, second and third person perspectives. From everyday situations to extreme circumstances of trial and endings in life, the contours of hope are given a phenomenological description and subjected to conceptual analysis. This consistently secular account of hope sheds a different light on questions of agency and meaning.

The Principle of Political Hope by Loren Goldman Pdf

"This book provides an action-theoretic view of political hope that draws on German idealism, critical theory, and American pragmatism. It offers an alternative to standard perspectives that reduce hope to either a subjective element of individual psychology or to the passive anticipation of the supposedly objective tendencies of the world itself. Featuring chapters on Immanuel Kant, Ernst Bloch, Charles Peirce, and William James, it presents hope instead as a practice of political action that both buttresses and promotes democratic experimentation. By reconstructing hope as a necessary condition for social and political engagement, it furthermore argues for the centrality of utopian thinking for practical action"--
