    About this ebook

    In this insightful devotional, New York Times best-selling author Jane Kirkpatrick provides comfort and inspiration for those in the midst of life’s challenges. Promises of Hope for Difficult Times is a personal yet universal journey to find new beginnings in the face of loss or unwelcome change. Jane offers a needed reminder that God longs to show compassion and care, rest and refuge to those who hurt.

    The 140 Scripture-based reflections bring hope and encouragement in the wilderness places of our lives and remind us all that in the midst of life’s winters, there remains the promise of spring. A Scripture reading accompanies each of Jane’s personal reflections, making this a comforting gift for those who need a daily dose of encouragement to face their pressures and problems.
