What are others saying about this book?
Tom Dooley is not only a thinker, but a deep thinker. And as one would expect of him, this book is not a river to wade across, but one whose current will lift your feet from the bottom and challenge you to swim. Believe me, in a day when the lamp of hope has gone out in many places, it is a welcome change to see a new light in the dark. Hope When Everything Seems Hopeless is that kind of book. The river may be turbulent, but the light on the other side is bright. Just minutes before picking up this manuscript I read another which predicted nothing but despair and gloom. Then, unexpectedly, "Hope" came -- strong, assuring, faith-filled and confident. Read it! You need it!
For many people today, life has become hopeless. That’s why Dr. Tom Dooley’s book on hope carries the promise of making a difference in the lives of so many. Writing from a biblical worldview, using vivid illustrations and with the perspective of an encourager, Tom clarifies the often misunderstood “I hope so” mindset of those who fail to understand the true nature of this vital quality. Hope When Everything Seems Hopeless is a book that will infuse you with an understanding of hope that will enable you to choose hope, since “the mind is the major battleground in the struggle against hopelessness.” Ultimately it will point you to Jesus, Whose “hope is superior to any we can muster.”
Hope is linked with your emotions. Without hope, you have no expectation and you lose sight of the road ahead. One of the greatest demonic forces that we must battle is disappointment which leads to hope deferred which leads to sickness and infirmity. Tom Dooley brings light into darkness that will turn your weeping into laughter. Once you embrace hope, resurrection power follows. Hope When Everything Seems Hopeless will lead you into a new expressed manifestation of God’s power in your life.
The world we live in is like a stinking trash dump. Sometimes, we are like Mr. Boular having all the reasons to act as defeated in view of being handicapped. But, hope sees beyond circumstances, beyond the “now”. Hope is looking into the future. Through this wonderful book, Dr. Thomas Dooley is a hope-giver to a hopeless world.
This book is a virtual treasure chest of remarkable teachings and illustrations that will inspire hope for those in the pit of despair and hopelessness. Tom Dooley reveals how to reach out and grasp the hand of the One who is more than able, and willing, to lift, to heal, and to restore.
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken” (Luke 21:25-6). One need but marginal discernment to realize that the fulfillment of this excerpt of scripture is now lapping at our feet—not unlike a very subtle, incoming tide. In an hour when anxiety medication sales are fueling the pharmaceutical industry to the tune of billions of dollars per year, hope stands ready to guide us through the darkest mire. But hope is a choice. Tom Dooley has penned a beautiful invitation to embrace hope as the quarterdeck upon which we may navigate the worst of storms ahead.
Hope When Everything Seems Hopeless communicates the message of hope in a way that is both practical and life-giving. But, this book is more than just great ideas. You get years of experience of a man who needed hope himself and lived out these principles. Tom is a gift to the Kingdom and so is this book! Read it and apply it, and you'll discover that hope can change everything.
Mankind is in an epidemic of hopelessness because he has chosen to ignore and reject the only sure cure for it, Jesus, The Messiah, the Son of God. Tom's book will encourage you to discover and know that the foundation of hope in Christ can lead to a life of faith and victory in a defeated and despairing world.
Tom Dooley writes on the forgotten virtue of the Christian trinity of eternal values- hope. Christian hope is not a wishfulness for change, but is an anchor of certainty that will keep the soul. This book records testimonies and comments that will prove inspirational for those who find themselves in hopeless situations. Apart from hope, Tom writes in a challenging and insightful way.
When I first read my friend's new book title my spirit was stirred, because encouragement is a core area of ministry in my own life. As ministers we carry the responsibility to show others how to find hope and to turn hopeless situations around into breakthroughs. Dr. Dooley has provided many remarkable stories of breakthroughs that he has gathered from his experiences and travels among the nations. This book will give hope to many.
Hope is such a powerful divine energy that keeps us motivated until we possess the full inheritance. It is truly a divine power within us working towards the fulfillment of every God-given goal. This book by my friend, Tom Dooley, will bless a lot of people.
Dr. Dooley holistically elaborates on hope. Firstly, he defines hope and then tells of hope’s relation to faith. The book is also filled with examples of hope from the Bible, world history, and personal examples. As a prophet, he elaborates on hope and hopelessness in the context of present society. Dr. Dooley’s goal is to progressively take the reader “out of the pit of the impossible into the progressively higher realms of the possible, the probable, and the prophetic.” It will give practical hope and wisdom to the readers.
This "dealer in hope" shares it with his readers - explaining hope in a Biblical and practical way, and pointing towards the One and only, Who is able to give it, sustain it, and make it happen! Read it and keep hoping!
