"In difficult times, we can only run on hope."

With practicality and vulnerability, author and public theologian Grace Ji-Sun Kim reflects on the practice of sustaining hope during turbulence and injustice. Hope in Disarray is a collection of essays that invite a conversation on culture and faith, creation and identity, as the author appeals to readers to engage life's troubles with the conviction of God's goodness.

Hope in Disarray takes the world's pain seriously in order to ignite our intentional, revolutionary, and integrated living.
