Hope changes everything: “Stop living as a prisoner of your past and read this book today!” —Rick Warren, New York Times–bestselling author of The Purpose-Driven Life

It can disarm guilt, shatter shame, and put your past in its place. All you have to do is make the choice to let it in. It won’t be easy. It won’t be quick. But it is possible and we serve a God who promises over and over again that anything is possible.

Pete Wilson, pastor and author of Plan B, presents a new look at the power of healing through hope, revealing four unique choices that have the potential to change your life forever.

With Wilson’s typical candor, Let Hope In explores accounts of seemingly hopeless moments in the Bible illustrating God’s ultimate plan for healing by letting hope fill the dark places of your past.

Discover how pain that is not transformed becomes transferred. Embrace the freedom of being okay with not being okay. Learn that a life of trusting is far more magnificent than a life of pleasing. Because hurt people hurt people, but free people have the power to free people.

So make today the day that you get unstuck. The day you fill your past with the light of hope, the day you say good-bye to regret and shame. The day you choose to change your future and embrace who God created you to be, simply by making the choice to let hope in.

“In my more than twenty years of working with hurting people, I’ve seen old wounds tear families apart more times than I can count . . . In Let Hope In, Pete Wilson tackles our old hurts head-on, showing us a biblical, practical process for letting go of old wounds and moving forward into a new future.” —Dave Ramsey, New York Times–bestselling author of The Legacy Journey

Pete Wilson is the founding and senior pastor of Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee, a committed church community that he and his wife, Brandi, planted in 2003. Over the course of 9 years, Cross Point has grown to reach more than 5,000 people each weekend through its five campuses located around the Nashville area, and online. As one of the fastest growing churches in America, Pete's ministry--an outreach focused on helping people become devoted to Christ, irrevocably committed to each other, and relentlessly dedicated to reaching those outside of God's family with the Gospel--has made Pete a frequent speaker at national and international church conferences.

Pete gained national attention in 2010 when Thomas Nelson published his best-selling book, Plan B, a title that has been printed in five languages and launched Putting Plan B into Action, a 6-week DVD curriculum that serves as a study companion to the book. Empty Promises, Pete’s much-anticipated second book, looks to help the reader identify their own inclination to drift toward putting their identity in other things and offer them a wake-up call to find their meaning in Christ alone. Let Hope In, Pete’s third book, presents a new look at the power of healing through hope, revealing 4 unique choices that have the potential to change your life forever. With Wilson’s telltale cadence and candor, Let Hope In explores accounts of seemingly hopeless moments in the Bible; illustrating God’s ultimate plan for healing by letting hope fill the dark places of your past.

Pete’s fourth book, What Keeps You Up At Night?, releasing in May 2015, will challenge you to take steps of trust along the path toward God’s best for your life and enable you to withstand doubt, opposition, and worry.

Pete is also an avid blogger (www.PeteWilson.tv); he enjoys the outdoors, farming, and Titans football. When he’s looking for rest, you can often find Pete gardening, hanging out with Brandi, or playing outside with their three boys.

Perfect Book for Spiritual Growth

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

A girlfriend recommended this book to me. I enjoyed it so much I bought one for each member of my family and then let my girlfriend borrow it. She ended up keeping my book because she liked it so much and bought me a new one. I'm not a big fan of Christian books because I think there's many false interpretations or too difficult to read so I used to stick to the Bible.

Mr. Wilson is by far one of the best writers I have ever read from. He is very easy to follow, quite funny, and humanistic. It's hard to find a writer that is humble and easy to comprehend. I'm a probation officer, so this book gave me a lot of insight into people and problems and hope in my own life. It actually helped me come to terms with things that happened in my life and allowed me to help people in theirs. I strongly recommend this book to anybody no matter what stage of life you're in.

This book helped me in my spiritual growth with Christ. It let me know that there's other people like me and that I shouldn't be ashamed of my life. I think God was speaking to Mr. Wilson when he wrote this and along the way helped people come to Jesus.

CHOOSE HOPE!
In general I like Pastor Pete Wilson's writing style, and this book "Let Hope In: 4 Choices That Will Change Your Life Forever" (W Publishing Group, 2013) just makes me hope that he keeps writing.
All of us have those moments when we wonder just what it is that we're supposed to be doing or learning, and sometimes those moments seem overwhelming. We wonder how we can possibly be of any use to anyone, how we can serve, how God can use us in our brokenness. And then Pete helps us to realize that "The Bible is a story about broken people, and God's choice to love them anyway.
This book is about making choices that allow us to experience hope. It's not a deep theological scholarly tome; it's an account of a pastor encouraging a member of his congregation or a man walking along side a friend during dark time. It's the encouragement you may be missing in your life, and which is now available to you.
Hope is a funny thing. In matters of the world it can be fleeting and ephemeral. It's that emotional turmoil when we're waiting for the numbers to be drawn for the mega-millions Powerball lottery; it's the time between the job interview and the notification that you got (or didn't get) the job. It's sitting by the phone hoping that the latest crush will call. It's the hours in the hospital waiting room, hoping beyond hope that everything will be all right.
And then there is the hope that Christians experience, the hope that is available to everyone that believes. And it has nothing to do with lottery tickets, jobs, a love life, or even medical things. It's a hope in the promises of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pete offers 4 concepts that are striking for their simplicity. I was reminded of the Old Testament account of Naaman who was told by Elisha to bathe seven times in the Jordan River. It seemed so simple that he was offended; he wanted something more complex and costly - something extravagant befitting his position in the world. Pete's suggestions are simple, but not that easy. Remember that people without hope can't always see beyond the very present current reality. Asking them to choose to change the way they look at something may be difficult.
But at the foundation, these concepts are simple choices. First we can choose to transform or to transfer. Next we can choose to be okay with not being okay; thirdly we can choose to trust rather than please, and last we can choose to free people rather than hurt them.
Four simple choices that help us deal with our past, accept our present, learn to trust God, and be able to forgive those that have hurt us. Let hope in, you'll be glad you did!
No FTC disclaimer necessary since I bought this book.

Great book

Pete is my pastor. I love going to church each Sunday because I love how God speaks through Pete. He gets messages, like this beautiful message of hope, to sink in and make sense in my life, in your life, in this present day. This book is full of good stuff! My heart is renewed, my hope is blooming. What a glorious gift that we have a God who loves us so. Thanks Pete for writing this book-I desperately needed to hear what you had to say.

I can't wait to share this book with friends -- Christians and non-Christians. This is a book well written with scriptures to back up each and every reason why we should have hope and what has happened when people people have hope. This is the second book ice read by Pete Wilson. I no longer need the recommendation of others to read his books, he's an awesome writer and communicator of God's truth!!

Solid reminders for those seeking encouragement

This book focuses the reader on viewing life's circumstances through the lens of optimism and the truth of the Gospel rather than despair and fear. Practical applications, encouraging reminders and helpful Scripture references made this a compelling and quick read.

Great Book Regardless of Where You Are on Your Journey

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have the pleasure of being a member of Pete's home church, so I had a decent idea of the style in which it would be written and I suspected that I would like it. What I didn't expect was to be so moved and inspired by it. He covers topics that will push you regardless of where you are presently. You'll feel as though you are loading up your mental tool box, preparing for whatever comes your way.

This is a great book and if you haven't had the opportunity to hear Pete speak you are in for a treat. He's transparent, he's honest, and he's authentic. If you're like me and grew up in a very "churchy" environment, his writing will be a gigantic breath of fresh air.

If you have been living with guilt and constant reminders of all the sins and bad choices you've made throughout your life this is the book for you! You will find that through confession, repentance and faith in God and His love there is hope for a better and happier life. This is a perfect book for a bible study group.

Everybody needs hope!

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

Pete's first book, Plan B completely changed my life and Let Hope In does not disappoint either. Everyone needs practical application of spiritual principles, no matter what situation you may be facing. Life can at times be full of heartache, struggles, and uncertainty, but Pete reminds the reader where hope can always be found. It was an honor to serve on his launch team and read an advanced copy. Pete is authentic and obedient to God's calling and it truly shows in his writing. Everybody needs hope and this is a terrific place to start!
