I'm reviewing The Gift of Disillusionment for Bethany House and Netgalley:


Organizations around the world suffer from discouragement. Often visionaries become cynical. The zealous give up. Leaders coast as their passion wanes.


Based on research, this book invites followers of Jesus to sustain hope in long-term service. The book is about finding true Christian hope beyond idealism and disillusionment.


Throughout the book, the authors explore how the Lord met and sustained Jeremiah during his lifetime of faithfulness despite literally nothing going as he'd hoped. Further inspiration can be found in the stories of Christian leaders from Zimbabwe, Haiti, Guatemala, Poland, Palestine, the Philippines, India, Zambia, and Lebanon. This is a moment when the global Church is needed.


Stay positive and don't give up. Despite heartache and disappointment, God's sustaining presence can bring joy, hope, and encouragement.


I give The Gift of Disillusionment five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
