DESTINATION HOPE
A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart
The hit that knocked you down doesn’t have to keep you there.
Hope–we all want hope! What’s it about?
Destination Hope is a beacon of light to those who stumble along the tearful trail of uncertainty and unexpected change. Authors Nutter and White, from two different states and representing two generations have been knocked off course by challenging life changes. Together they offer readers encouragement in unwelcomed life interruptions. The authors weave their personal stories along with narratives of other women knocked off course by events such as a prodigal, incarceration, death of a child, illness, widowhood, bankruptcy, and divorce.
Destination Hope is arranged into six chapters called Milepost Markers. These markers address losses such as disappointments, or obstacles. Each entry concludes with a “Rest Area” for personal reflection, response to action, and/or opportunity to journal. A “Postcard” with a quote related to the topic sends readers off with encouragement, as they travel toward their destination of hope. An Appendix includes resources unique to various losses to guide readers in their travel plans.
Destination Hope offers camaraderie, reality, and insight for women who think, “I didn’t see this coming.” Weary travelers who feel alone and hopeless, will be encouraged to know they are not alone. Destination Hope invites readers to link arms with the authors in practical and personal ways along their interrupted journey. They will discover they can thrive not merely survive. Despite discouragement, readers will discover hope can be their destination.

What others are saying
But what if the pain persists? What if the money is not provided? What if the loss is irrevocable? For many, the journey of life includes devastating detours and rigid roadblocks. The question becomes, how does a believer keep going in her new normal? Authors Marilyn Nutter and April White are no strangers to rocky paths, but they remind us to keep putting one foot in front of the other in their new book Destination Hope – A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart. What a valuable guide for all those uncertain times of recalculating. The poet Christina Rossetti once said, “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Through such sobering reality, Nutter and White sit with us in our pain and offer biblical teaching and many stories of people just like you and me who have embraced the hope of God’s presence, power, and provision. I heartily recommend this very practical and inspiring book for anyone who feels your life is falling apart; which is, of course, many of us on this perilous and glorious journey.
