Book excerpt: "I heard it said once that 'principles are taught, but miracles must be caught.' Through my personal journey and miraculous healing from a twelve-year battle with Crohn's disease, God showed me that miracles have a unique way of accelerating principles. I wonder if that is the reason David wrote, "'For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere'" (Psalm 84:10, ESV). Could David have known that a day in the presence of the Lord would accelerate his process and the principles the Lord was teaching him? "Hope is a journey, a process, that is often best seen through the eyes of another's story. As you read these pages you will explore the process of hope and find some truths for your personal journey." -- Donald Gibson
