As a chaplain, Desmond Haye has helped those receiving care as well as bereaved loved ones who often feel hopeless. In these moments, inspiring survivors to maintain a sense of hope is crucial.

In sharing the seven stories in The Voice of Hope, the author aims to help those waging a life-and-death battle-as well as those who care about them the most. Each chapter begins with an exemplary story and concludes with a short recitative prayer that readers may use to meditate on the teaching, followed by a set of questions to think and talk through.

The author writes, "Hope says there is a brighter tomorrow beyond the darkness of the tomb. Hope says when you walk through the dark valley of scary diagnosis and painful prognosis, God is with you, and you will never walk alone. Amid pain and perplexing circumstances, hope speaks words of assurance and comfort. Hope says death will one day die, but those who trust in God will live again."

Whether you carry out your mission at a health care institution, hospice, in a house of worship, or elsewhere, this compendium of inspirational stories will help you and those you serve find hope even in the darkest hours.
