Ragged Hope: Surviving the Fallout of Other Peoples Choices

“Ragged Hope celebrates God’s fingerprints in difficult, harrowing stories, reminding us that He can heal the deepest of wounds.” —Mary DeMuth, speaker and author of The Wall Around Your Heart Where do you find hope when it’s clouded by the ashes of other people’s choices? Where is God when you are doing everything right but, because of someone else, everything is wrong? Cynthia Ruchti has walked this road herself and has spoken to thousands of people through her radio show. Ragged Hope is an insightful and hope-giving guide to assure you that God is ever present, and his love is unwavering. There is grace and a future in every situation—even (and especially) in those we did not cause but now live. Vetted by professional counselors and caregivers, this is the one guide you need to thrive no matter what situation or fallout you face. “If you have ever had to pick up tough responsibilities when someone else dumped a problem in your lap, read this book. I highly recommend it!" —Carol Kent, speaker and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down “With compassion and warmth, Cynthia Ruchti writes about people who made unwise, immature, or calculated bad decisions that threw themselves and others into chaos. And yet, even in the worst moments, some held on to what she calls rugged or true hope. ‘True hope is indestructible.’ Those four words sum up the positive message of this book.” —Cecil Murphey, bestselling author of more than 135 books, including Making Sense When Life Doesn’t, Gifted Hands, and 90 Minutes in Heaven
