Hope in the 2020s 
Encouragement for Our Time

This decade is proving to be anything but easy. From early 2020 on, together we’ve faced a global pandemic, horrific acts on Black lives, an assault on the US Capitol, a Russian war on Ukraine, school shootings, inflation, a tumultuous job market, climate change, toxic religion, social isolation, and burnout. Whew.

We’re all feeling it. So how will you find hope?

In Hope in the 2020s: Encouragement for Our Time, you’ll discover readings that offer a slice of hope to brighten your day. Each of the spiritual storytellers, thinkers, and practitioners offer an antidote, an idea, or some action step that ushers you into hope:

• Finding hope even with lingering trauma or grief


• Examining where things go out of control and what to do


• Overcoming toxicity by broadening your perspective


• Understanding that hope isn’t foolishness, but fuel


• Ignoring the loudest voices and better defining you


• Taking breaks to notice the small things


• Freeing our imaginations to seed goodness.

The 2020s are just getting started, and we’re going to need hope wherever we can find it. Hope in the 2020s offers just a little refreshing water for our time.
