We live in an age of anxiety.

Almost every institution that we depend upon to give our lives direction and purpose has betrayed us in the last several years. This book offers us an analysis of the chaotic society and steps to take to assist people to move beyond anxiety and rediscover the power of hope to heal and energize a community of believers. It is though visions of hope, like the Promised Land or the Kingdom come, that have enabled believers to continue in life's journey with courage and hope. It is the pastor's calling to enable people to have hope and live in trust.
