We all like our "hope" all nice and beautifully gift-wrapped with a Christian bow on top.  Right?  Redeemed, happy-ever-after Christian packages-all American Hallmark style.  Right?  

Sometimes, though, hope is ragged.-And that is what author Cynthia Ruchti writes about in "Ragged Hope".    Sometimes, divorce is final, an injury is unhealed, a dream is lost, or better yet, exchanged for a new package, a ragged looking package called VICTORY.  Any competent competitor knows the victory is worth the fight.  It costs.   A little or a lot.  It cost Messiah everything, but VICTORY is possible and it can be yours.

As you read these real life stories, you will begin to see a Christian reality.  VICTORY is yours for the taking.  Your battle is yours, it may be unique and gut-wrenching but  the VICTORY is not only available, it is guaranteed as each individual story will reveal to your heart.  Open the book.  Open your heart and let the Ragged Redemption be Revealed.  Amen.
