About The Book: Hunting Hope: Dig Through the Darkness to Find the Light (April 2016, Worthy Inspired) Hope is not an accident. Sometimes it has to be hunted, and hunting it takes courage.
Hope hunters know how to excavate hope from hardship. There is dirt underneath their fingernails and sweat on their shirts. They rake through the rubble of an unwanted situation, digging into difficult circumstances because they have come to expect that adversity will produce good. They believe that light always triumphs over darkness. They have learned to walk through winter with their eyes on spring.
Nika Maples became a hope hunter after suffering a massive brainstem stroke that left her quadriplegic in her twenties. Doctors warned that she had as little as 48 hours to live, and---if she lived at all---she would never walk or talk again. There was no hope on the horizon. So Nika started to hunt for it. Today, she not only walks, but she speaks to audiences everywhere about the power of hunting hope when a situation appears hopeless. She says hope remains camouflaged in the daily mundane. If we are not looking for it, we will miss it, though it is right before our eyes.
Whether you or someone you know is going through a situation that feels hopeless, you will find encouragement in Hunting Hope. Whether you are experiencing a medical trauma, a financial hardship, or a relational crisis, you will find empowerment in Hunting Hope. As you read, you will cling to 20 truths about God's character and practice 5 daily disciplines that will develop your own character in crisis.
You will become a hope hunter.
Maybe it doesn't matter what causes suffering in our lives as much as it matters what suffering causes in our lives. Maybe we were all meant to be hope hunters.

My Thoughts On The Book: This was my first book by Nika Maples and it will not be my last. She is one impressive writer, who writes straight from the heart. Using her own personal experiences seasoned with scripture and some advice Nika Maples has produced one amazing book. I felt as if she was walking in my skin, thinking my thoughts, and saying words I know are in there. This book is one I will add to my personal library and share with my friends who are hunting hope. I am so blessed to have read it! Hunting Hope would make an awesome gift, small group, book club, or even class study. Are you a hunter of hope? If you are....this is a must read! I hope you enjoy it.
