Synopsis

How will you keep going if you have nothing to look forward to?

Our path in life is challenging, enclosed in darkness, and often seems hopeless. Thomas Manton experienced this, yet he also knew that God gently motivates His children along the way by giving them something to look forward to. Accordingly, A Blessed Hope reminds us that the Christian life is sustained by “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). Would you like to better understand what Christian hope is, recognize how it sanctifies us, and learn to maintain it? Then read this book and discover with Manton the pleasant power of expecting the return of Christ and His heavenly reward.
