Synopsis

Hope is a word we use often, but it's far more than a simple wish or passing desire. True hope runs deeper—it’s something we can cultivate, plan for, and actively pursue.

Through compelling stories, relatable examples, and insightful interviews, Attracted to Hope invites readers to explore hope from a variety of angles. From daily life to global cultures, from mental health and trauma to medical challenges, from the workplace to religion—and even in the face of death—this book reveals how hope shows up in the most unexpected places.

Whether you're seeking inspiration, understanding, or healing, Attracted to Hope offers fresh perspective and lasting encouragement. It's a book you'll return to again and again—each time discovering new reasons to be, and stay, attracted to hope.

A gentle person of broad experience and big heart, Bruce weaves together remarkable stories of hope in the midst of challenges - his own and those of others - creating a beautiful tapestry that any reader will find inspiring. This extraordinary book will renew your hope.
— Rev. Cindy Derks Hoy, United Church of Christ Pastor and retired Hospital Director of Spiritual Care

In Attracted to Hope, Bruce Blumer offers a moving and faith-filled exploration of holding onto light in the midst of darkness. He reminds us that hope is more than a feeling—it’s something we do. Rooted in the real-life rhythms of South Dakota but resonating far beyond, he shares his own inspiring journey alongside true stories of others who find hope in unexpected places. Hope is not wishful thinking—it’s a spiritual anchor that helps us build a better tomorrow. Whether navigating struggles or simply needing encouragement, this book is a wise and skillfully written companion.
— Brian Bonde - CEO/Founder, Advanced Certified Fundraising

After the unexpected loss of my dad—and later, a career curveball that upended life as I knew it—I found myself asking: What is hope, really? And how do we find it when it feels like it’s gone missing?
So, I welcomed the chance to read Attracted to Hope—to see how someone else had wrestled with hope and discovered it showing up in unexpected places.
Through story after story, Bruce’s book explores the many faces of hope and reminds us that while hope is universal, it’s also deeply personal. It doesn’t always look the way we expect—but it may be the most essential ingredient for a meaningful life.
—Richelle Hofer, Founder & CEO, Impact Wealth Management

In Bruce’s latest book, he creatively and compellingly encourages the reader to see hope from a new perspective. In the letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Paragraph after paragraph you will come face-to-face with a God, not who simply uses hope, has hope, or can communicate about hope: but instead, you will come face-to-face with a God who is the God OF Hope. Happy reading!
—Rev. Dave Campbell, Lead Pastor, 18th Street Church
