    About this audiobook

    "I cry out, God, call out: 'You're my last chance, my only hope for life!'" -Psalm 142:5. Finding hope is a matter of seeing, of looking in the right direction. Hope means having the right perspective, point of view. We lose hope when our focus is fuzzy or we look in the wrong direction. Only God has the perfect perspective on every event, every circumstance. Our perspective will always be limited by the very fact that we are finite. But we can make choices on where we look that can give us a more accurate pictureand bring hope. Look Again, for Hope is a new topical audio book featuring scripture from The Message Bible.

      Where should we look for hope? Down? Or inward onto ourselves? Our desires, our struggles, or our despairs? In this shortbook, Peterson encourages Christians to look up, forward and beyond for hope brought by Jesus. Citing multiple scriptures, Peterson applied them into the reality of our lives, advising Christ followers how to live with hope.
