Hope Lives - Community Read Through and a Book Giveaway

**This giveaway is now finished.

Hope Lives: A Journey of Restoration by Amber Van Schooneveld

Join us for a 5 week journey as we embark on a journey to better understand poverty. As a community, we will read through this devotional book and hopefully grow in our knowledge and understanding of God's heart for the poor.

The book is divided into 5 weeks, with 5 daily readings each week.

Week 1 ~ The Poverty of the Heart....discover what keeps you from engaging in global issues
Week 2 ~ God is Not Silent...explore what Scripture really says about the poor
Week 3 ~ Understanding Poverty....understand the true nature of poverty
Week 4 ~ Prayer....draw close to the poor through prayer
Week 5 ~ Be the Change....respond to God's voice as he speaks to you about poverty

At the end of each week there are reflection questions and action steps. One thing I love about this book is that is packed full of Scripture.

And the photos are beautiful ~ every single one of them.

Will you join us as we read through this book as a community? We'll begin the daily readings on Monday, February 27th to coincide with the weeks leading up to Easter. We'll be kicking if off with a guest post from Amber Van Schooneveld herself. Throughout the five weeks there will be other guest posts relating to this book and this journey.

Is there someone you have been wanting to share the ministry of Compassion with? This is the perfect opportunity to invite that person to go through this study with you.
