While doing two years' Bible research for finding how our bodies are made in very similar fashion to principles seen in the Bible, I started getting more and more interested in the verses related to hope. I started to write a daily devotional book on hope but then started to see more and more verses that did not have the word "hope" in them but spoke to me on important principles of hope. I also started to notice different verses that discussed different types of fear, what we are to fear and what we shouldn't fear. With this, I saw just how much fear is on the other side of hope. I also saw just how much God wants to give us hope through Him. The writing of this book was a truly evolving process. I wanted to combine my paintings with these verses so that people might notice the verses more when highlighted by color, starting with just a "verse of the day." My family led me to write more about why I picked the verses I picked, so the second part of this process turned into me writing about what I saw in these verses, turning into a starting point for journaling. I want this book to be a starting point to help people journal as they see these verses and what I felt reading them, able to add what they see. Beyond this, I want it to be a starting point for people to want to look more into the Bible and what is put in there for us. Each time I read some of my favorite passages, I'm able to see more and learn more. I want each reader to enjoy the same opportunities of this journey of walking with God through His Word. This last three years has taken a toll on a lot of people. I want this book to help encourage people to not give up, to hold on to what God offers us, even when things get tough and confusing. All pictures in this book are my paintings, and I'm hoping they will be a way to help people stay interested in all the verses on hope and how to drive out fear.
