About

Reasons for despair abound in our day. A global pandemic. Political disunity. Widespread injustice. New geopolitical threats that could have devastating effict on our daily lives. In time like these, a rose-tinted view of hope based in a belief that things will just work out isn't enough. Nor is an unsubstantiated hope in human ingenuity or social progress.

We need a specific hope, something that speaks to the troubles of our time while looking toward a future where wrongs are righted, injustices are ended, and tears are wiped away. For Jesus' disciples in the first century—and for us—the bright hope for tomorrow that gives strength for todays is a belief in Jesus' return.

What if there were a way to recapture spiritual momentum? What if we could tap into the apostles' longing to simply be in the presence of the resurrected Christ without getting entangled in date-setting or disagreements about the millennium? And what if that fresh hope could drive our daily responses to temptation, affliction, discouragement, and life in a broken world?

These are the questions Chris Davis wrote Bright Hope for Tomorrow to answer.

In this book, Davis dives into the many places where the New Testament presents Jesus' second coming as the driving force behind the hope and courage of the first-century church. He paint a picture of Jesus' return with four portraits straight form Scripture: the Warrior King, the Bridegroom, the Judge, and the Resurrecting One.

He then shares ways in which we can prepare for the day of Jesus' appearing and describers the sort of people we ill be if we confront our desperate circumstances with hope in a future where we will once again see Jesus face to face. As Davis writes, the journey to recover this much-forgotten hope has the potential to " stir up new and fresh affections of joy, love, and longing for Jesus in your heart." May it be so!
