e-laden words, the survivors pull themselves up from the sand and begin to build.What does a community built on hope look like? Not a wishful-thinking kind of hope the world ofers, but the hope we read of in the Bible? Christian hope is defined as a "confident expectation" and "happy anticipation." It's a hope we have because we know we're going home-that rescue is coming.

Hope Island is a 13-chapter exploration of hope. Each lesson follows the lives of a group of island-stranded survivors far from home, each one confident of rescue. They overcome challenges, create opportunities, work together, and discover joy-all because of their hope. On Hope Island, you'll find more than a group of shipwrecked survivors-you'll discover the church.
