Synopsis
Climbing across seaside boulders in the Highlands of Scotland, Lloyd Ogilvie slipped and fell, shattering a leg. It was late evening, and cold. Unable to walk, he knew that he could die of exposure. In this rugged terrain, there was little likelihood that anyone would be out at that late hour. But long ago, Dr. Ogilvie had committed to memory Bible passages on hope. Flooding back into his mind, these scriptures seemed to bring with them the energy required to crawl across the rocks, out of the desolate place to a spot where, "hoping against hope," someone might see him. Sure enough, a man and his son and daughter "happened" to be out walking...and the man "happened" to be a doctor. Lloyd Ogilvie was rescued. This nearly fatal accident gave birth to one of the most powerful of Dr. Ogilvie's many bestselling books. Long months of recuperation after leg surgery gave him time to see that his experience was actually a metaphor of life, "The prolonged period of pain and learning how to walk again has deepened my own experience of authentic hope," he writes. he shows that we, too, often feel dashed onto the boulders of uncertainty, failure, and discouragement. But, plumbing the Scriptures for their amazing capacity to create hope in the midst of darkness, the author leads us to see: **Christ seeking the lost and wounded and bringing them hope; **Christ's resurrection as a historical basis for hope; **Hope as the indispensable anchor for faith and love; **Life as "soul-making" and hope as the "helmet of salvation"; **The impact of hope on interpersonal relationships; and **How even our failures can become the occasion for indomitable hope. Dr. Ogilvie cites Keats as saying that "nothing becomes real until it is experienced"; and the author's brush with death makes his insights into the healing power of hope extraordinarily profound and valuable to all who need hope in their own difficult times.
