You will cherish each topic in this extraordinary series. Celebrate one of God's greatest gifts: hope. Hope is an essential and life-giving topic. Now, in this powerful series, you will discover inspiring models from the Catholic tradition who will guide you toward leading a richer and more fulfilling life. Taught by one of our best presenters, each lecture is carefully crafted to maximize both your learning and enjoyment. Through 18 brilliantly delivered lectures, you will learn how to respond to St. Peter's call to "always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope" (3:15). By meditating on the Word of God in the Sacred Scripture and the teaching of the Church, you will come to a deeper understanding of how hope is necessary in the life of a disciple. Along the way, you will explore the wisdom of heroes of hope: men and women who learned firsthand the importance of trusting in God. By looking at the experiences of such inspirational figures as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, St. Augustine, and St. Gianna Molla, you will discover the power of hope. Hope brings healing in the face of pain, strength in moments of temptation, comfort in the midst of sorrow, and clarity in times of doubt. Practice this most vital virtue today
