HOPE, the Immeasurable, Incomprehensible, Impossible, and Imperishable

The purpose of this book is to encourage someone who is at the verge of giving up and feels that there is no way out of his or her situation. I want to assure that person that there is still a chance for him or her to turn his or her situation around and have a better life. I believe hope is a virtue. A virtue is a standard or trait a person has that makes him or her different from others and powerful in his or her own right. Virtue is like a gift or talent a person is born with. While some people are born with the virtue of hope, others have to nurture theirs or be nurtured to develop and maintain theirs.

However, it does not matter if virtue were obtained by nature or maintained by nurture either one does the same job. Perhaps, one may be gifted with hope and does not realize it, if that is the case, then I hope this book will give that individual the affirmation and encouragement he or she needs to exercise the hope he or she has.

Contrariwise, if one does not have hope or is not capable of developing hope, it is my hope that this book energizes that person and gives him or her the ability to develop hope, maintain it, and be able to live a successful life.
