This is a gem of a book.
In six chapters Meyer touches on those circumstances and feelings that can bring about discouragement - feeling overwhelmed, defeated, worthless. He also addresses how a person can approach their past, live in the present and look toward the future without fear.
I appreciated how Meyer used personal stories and illustrations to complement the Scriptures and demonstrate to the reader that God is still at work in us and for us no matter how discouraged or depressed we might be. Meyer understands how it is impossible for people to live without hope. But he also knows where hope can be found - in the Lord Jesus Christ. The hope of Jesus is powerful enough to see anyone through times of discouragement.
This book would be an excellent gift. Do you know someone who is struggling with discouragement? Share with them a copy of "Don't Lose Hope." It might be the best gift that person will receive this Christmas season.
