In Hope in a World Gone Mad, Gary brings us into a conversation - a conversation of loss, pain, grief, fear, and hope.


Here's why Gary wrote this book:


"I'm deeply concerned by the loss, death, pain, and fear that I see around me. People are grieving as never before. People are scared. Terrified. I see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices. We're experiencing loss upon loss, every day. We need hope. I believe that the ultimate source of hope and love is God Himself. I wrote this book to share what I know and what I have. I have shared my heart - and hopefully that will connect with many other troubled hearts out there."


If you're looking for an in-depth analysis of the grief process, this book isn't it. This book is about discovering hope - real hope, forever hope - amid terrible grief in a world gone crazy. This book is about finding God in loss, fear, and uncertainty.

You are religious but long for more in their spiritual life.
You are a Christian who is hurting and concerned about what's happening to and around them.
