Synopsis

One of the world's leading biblical counselors, June Hunt teaches what the Bible says about hope and emphasizes its power to heal the broken.

Hope is a prominent Biblical theme. Even so, the true, biblical meaning of hope is often misunderstood or reduced to mere wishful thinking. While our culture views hope as an optimistic desire, Christian hope is guaranteed assurance--anchored in an unchcangeable God and based on His promises. 

Stemming from June's own international ministry, Hope For the Heart, this book speaks on a subject central to her calling. She explains how hope is much more than a vague emotion and specifies the ways it has the power to change lives. Shunning pop psychology and shallow inspirationalism, June consistently and faithfully looks at what the Bible says about hope...and what it means in everyday life. Each chapter is illustrated by unforgettable real-life stories and packed with biblical wisdom, inspiration, and truth.

Those experiencing brokenness and hurt will find encouragement and healing as they encounter the hope of the Bible. Written from a counselor's heart, this book will also benefit pastors and others engaged in counseling ministry.

About the Author:

JUNE HUNT is a dynamic Christian leader who has yielded landmark contributions to the field of Christian counseling. She is CEO of Hope for the Heart the ministry she founded in 1986, which today provides biblically-based counsel in 24 languages and 60+ countries.

June became aware of the need for real answers to real questions in her first job as a church youth director. Her personal experiences with pain and her practical experience with youth and parents led her into a lifelong commitment to "providing God's truth for today's problems." She earned a Masters in counseling at Criswell College in 2007 and has been presented two honorary Doctorates.

Between 1989 and 1992, June developed and taught "Counseling through the Bible," a scripturally-based counseling course addressing 100 topics, in categories such as marriage and family, emotional entrapments and cults, as well as addictions, abuse and apologetics.  Since then, the coursework has been continuously augmented, forming the basis for her Biblical Counseling Library.The Library fueled the ministry's steady growth, including the 2002 creation of the Hope Biblical Counseling Institute, which equips attendees with practical solutions for life's most pressing problems. The Library also undergirds two weekday radio programs hosted by June, "Hope for the Heart" and "Hope in the Night," the live two-hour call-in broadcast. Together, the programs air worldwide on more than 800 radio outlets. 

June has been a guest on numerous TV and radio programs worldwide, including NBC's "Today." She is a regular guest professor at colleges and seminaries and a popular conference speaker, sharing biblical truth that changes minds, hearts, and lives.

Review:

“If your world seems to be spinning out of control into nightmarish chaos, June Hunt shows you where to find stability and safety in her excellent book. Filled with scripture, Hope for Your Heart gently guides readers to important anchors from God’s Word which inspire, refresh and instruct. Thank you, June!”
—Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder and CEO, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

“It’s been said a person can live “’bout 40 days without food, seven days without water, eight minutes without air, but not a moment without hope.’ If you struggle with feeling hopeless, don’t wait another moment to find Hope For your Heart. It’s here...on every page!”
—Zig Ziglar, author; motivational teacher; Chairman, Zig Ziglar Corporation

“June Hunt says, ‘There are no hopeless situations, only those who have grown hopeless.’ This book reveals how to restore hope that once seemed forever lost. With a quarter-century of life-changing counseling to her credit, June shows how to cling to the ironclad promises of God.”
—Sam Johnson, U. S. Congressman, former Vietnam prisoner of war

“Hope is more than wishful thinking...more than deep desire. It’s a reality we can stake our lives on. June shows—step by step—how to have what the Bible calls the hope that does not disappoint us.”
—Kay Cole James, Founder and President, The Gloucester Institute; Former Director of the U. S. Office of Personnel Management

“As a pastor I have noticed two responses to difficult times; survival or revival. Survivors hunker down and wish things were different. Revivers trust God and take action, spreading hope to others as they pursue the promises of God. June Hunt has always been a reviver, offering hope to thousands through her writings and radio ministry. In Hope for Your Heart, June reveals how anyone can be a reviver. Read this book and let the revival begin.”
—Gary Brandenburg, Senior Pastor, Fellowship Bible Church, Dallas, Texas

“June’s powerful teaching transcends cultural barriers, revealing the invincible power of God to transform lives. No matter who or where you are—and no matter where you’ve been—Hope for Your Heart shows how to anchor your life with biblical hope.”
—Enkeledja Kumaraku, Founder, Director, and Host, "Radio 7" & "Media 7" Television, Albania
