Synopsis

Sometimes hope can feel like a scam—a swindle, a hustle. You thought it was real, and you bought into it. But then the tables turn, and you feel like you've been hustled—like you've been had.

As Christians, we often respond to the brokenness of life as if we do not actually have hope—as if the promises of God are not really certain. But Pastor Irwyn Ince assures us that not only do we have hope, but that hope cannot disappoint us because it is validated by God himself. Hope Ain't a Hustle is a clear and accessible exploration of the epistle to the Hebrews, urging us to place our confidence in the finished work of our great high priest, Jesus Christ, and showing how that confidence changes the way we live in the here and now.

It's not that Christians don't face grief or anger, disappointment or deep sorrow. It's that we don't face them as those "who have no hope."

Goodreads review by Richie on March 05, 2024

Dr. Ince brings to the forefront the hope that the author of Hebrews gives in the work and person of Jesus Christ. He gets started right away, and it’s apparent that his writing style is pastoral, honed from years of crafting sermons for the pulpit. And this book reads like that. Each chapter feels......more
