The Hope Library

Twenty years in the making, Community of Hope has been teaching people to walk with Jesus in plain language. No church-speak, no performance, no perfect life required. Now that teaching is a library: a series of books covering the whole journey, from saying yes to Christ to holding on when life falls apart. Read them in any order, in one sitting or one page at a time. They're free, because hope shouldn't have a price tag. We don't care how you come to these books. We only care about the way you leave: empowered, saved, hopeful, renewed, and encouraged.

Start Here

You said yes to Jesus. Heaven threw a party. Now what?
You prayed the prayer. Heaven threw a party. Now what? This is the first book for your new life. What actually happened when you said yes to Jesus, how you can know it's real on the days you don't feel it, why the water of baptism is waiting for you, and a thirteen-week walk through your first ninety days. You didn't join a program. You got adopted. Start here.

Just Talk

A simple guide to prayer.
Prayer isn't a performance. It's a conversation. No robe, no stage, no fancy words. Just you, being honest, with a God who's been waiting on you. How to start, what to say when life is heavy, what to do when heaven seems quiet, plus prayers you can borrow and a 7-day starter.


Read the Text, Read Your Life

A simple guide to Bible Study
Bring your Bible and your story. You'll leave knowing how to open the Book anywhere  and let it open you. This book teaches you both skills at once: five questions to draw out what God actually said, and five questions to read your own seasons, emotions, and patterns under the same light.


When Life Falls Apart

Suffering, Lament, and Holding On
Grief. Trauma. Depression. The prayers that seem to hit the ceiling. This book won't tell you to smile through it. It will hand you the prayers the Bible wrote for exactly this: lament, the prayer language nobody taught you. Walk through the heavy things by name and meet the God who is close to the brokenhearted. You don't have to be okay to open this book. That's rather the point of it.

Breath and Fire

A Spirit-Filled Life for Ordinary Disciples
There's a Person you may not know as well as you think, the One Jesus said it was better for you to have. Meet the Holy Spirit: who the Spirit is, what Pentecost started, what the gifts are for, and what a Spirit-filled life looks like for ordinary people with jobs, kids, and doubts. The Spirit isn't finished with you. Come hungry.
