Have you been through difficult times in your life? If so, you are not alone. Jesus says in John 16:33, In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. Notice that He doesn’t say that we might have trouble or that if we have enough faith, we will escape it. He clearly states that on this side of heaven, we will walk through difficult times in our lives.

And yet we have reason to hope.

Finding Hope in the Midst of Tragedy is Shelley Hitz’s journey to finding hope after a tragedy hit her family. However, she did not want this book to be her story alone. Instead, she wants it to be a resource for you to find hope in your own difficulties. That is why she has added the sections, which you will see throughout the book, called “From My Life to Yours.” These sections include journaling prompts and reflection questions to help you apply what you are learning to your own life. Her prayer is that God will lead you to find His hope, no matter what you are currently going through.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit ~ Romans 15:13
