I spent over 30 years of my life flying airplanes. People always had hope that they would arrive at their destination safe, and sound. Life isn't that way though. Now as a chaplain in retirement years, I find myself meeting people where they are at, typically in their pain. No matter the circumstances there is always a longing for hope. That is what a chaplain can bring. Chet's book, using the analogy of BBQ ribs, brings hope. When you order ribs, you hope it will be good. There are things that can be done to make them better and certain things will lessen the experience. In the pages of Chet's book, you will find what the ingredients are in hope as well as those things that might lessen hope. A delightful read and I will be using the ideas in my role as a chaplain.

In this book, the author gives us practical ways to keep our focus on Jesus, so we are never alone in fighting the temptations of Satan. Satan wants to keep us discouraged, afraid, angry, fearful, and feel abandoned by our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. We know in our hearts that Jesus will never abandon us, but it is up to us to maintain that focus. We ALWAYS have hope knowing that God loves us and forgives our humanness. We have the HOPE of eternal life with Him. God gave us the Holy Spirit, in every one of us who believe in Him. It is a gift from God. This Holy Spirit within us assures us of our Hope for living in this world surrounded by the good and evil it has to offer.
