When so many people today yield to frustration and discouragement, Father Bernard Haring sounds a note of optimism for man in this timely consideration of the role of hope in the life of the Christian. His is not a superficial optimism that blinds itself to the problems and hardships of daily life. Rather, he encourages man to accept his vocation.in Christ in the midst of trials; for Christian hope, he makes clear, consists above all in a spirit of praise and thanksgiving for God's bounties. In HOPE IS THE REMEDY, Haring confronts the challenging issues of our day and casts them in the perspective of Christ, our Hope. The result is a deeply inspiring book which offers new direction and courage for an often frustrated and despairing humanity.
