Synopsis

Imagine a journey, free of fear. Imagine an energized life with places to go, people to love, and things to know. Imagine realizing yourself, and your potential, through the affirmation of others. And know that you are part of something bigger than yourself. A master of drawing inspiration and hope from the events of everyday life, Sam Laine urges to us find a new way of seeing ourselves and becoming who we can be. In seemingly hopeless times, realizing that life is a journey with a purpose - a calling to interact with others, nature and the universe – is what makes life worth living. These tales and devotionals take us beyond the race for achievement and acquisition of modern life and challenge us to lead a life of hope. In Hope Realized, Sam Laine - preacher, world traveller, storyteller – weaves inspirational devotions into a map to a life where we are the best, and happiest, that we can be. “People are in a dynamic struggle for self-realization...Yes hope can be realized! Hope for a happier day, a fuller life, a brighter tomorrow can be realized. Go tell it on the mountain that hope can be realized.”
