Seasons of Hope, a Poetic Guide to Healing and Renewal, is a life-affirming view of the seasons of our lives. Each poem is paired with a set of thought-provoking questions designed to expand insight and prompt life-enhancing action. Every page reveals profound observations, insights, and inspirations. To borrow a line from one of its poems, this book "transforms the way / you see yourself and the world, / alters your very being. / And there is no going back." Seasons of Hope is so much more than a book of poetry, so much more than a journal for personal growth. It is a treasure map that charts the nature of human existence.

The Swedish Luther Renaissance began at the turn of the twentieth century and flourished through three generations of theologians who brought the challenges of their own day to their study of Luther. The last of these theologians, Gustaf Wingren, saw an increasing and deadly disjunction between faith and life in the church. Reading Luther he found two lively intersections: Christian vocation and proclamation. Using the methodology of his mentors, Wingren breathed new life into the Reformer's work and developed a Lutheran theology for his place and time.
