Instead of wallowing in discontent, God wants people to "build hope," fulfilling their altruistic potential. Scripture provides an amazing role model. 500 years before Jesus, a Jewish cupbearer to a pagan king began a journey that can inspire and equip contemporary people to discern their own unique calling, inspire others to action, and overcome opposition. Nehemiah's hope-building saga is recounted in forty brief devotionals. Biblically-based insights are illustrated with compelling stories drawn from the author's experience as a pastor and his wife's leadership of a Christian community development organization.Each of the forty devotionals ends with "Questions to Ponder," a helpful feature to prompt personal reflection and small group discussion.
