With only days before the Release of the book, The Hope Project, I wonder if it is unwise for me to believe that people believe in being a part of something greater than their situation. Will people operate there hope and believe again? Will they share this message? Will the message touch there heart? Will people actually pay it forward or will they look at this book as another gimmick? That on August 14, 2009 I am sharing my hope to people I do not know but I love enough to share my life time and expertise with them. I started to question my Faith in Hope. I asked myself , why am I doing this.? Why am I giving this book away? As I rolled out of bead the first thing I read was a person status on Facebook that said, “I’m not much of an economist…. But I cannot see how this is going to work out. About 20% of the nation have been laid off and about 12% of them are over qualified for most positions. Businesses have filed bankruptcy, homes have foreclosed, banks have failed, Yet the govt continues to bail us out??!!! Only God can repair this!!!” I realized that this book has a greater purpose.

Many people have heard this passage all the time in church. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The key word in this proverb is found in the word “Now.” We need a “Now” faith. We need a faith for today, current and relevant. The things that many people are going thru are much larger than what they have faced in the past. The American Recession has not only effected the poor but also the middle class. The working middle class were people that played by the rules they when to school, earned degrees, and worked hard. They would have never thought that half way through their career the rules would change. They would find themselves unemployed, underemployed, and homeless. People need hope, a now how. At the end of the recession, America will never be the same again. The days of the Six figure employee are coming to an end and very few companies will continue to have pension plans. What I have learned that whatever ends there has to be a new beginning. It is my hope that The Hope Project  is the start of a new beginning.
