Publisher's Description

Hope changes everything. 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 the author of Plan B, 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. 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.

“I feel like Pete Wilson writing about hope is like Max Lucado writing about grace. It reads like a conversation with a friend who has been down the road you’re on and knows which potholes to avoid and which vistas not to miss.”

Jon Acuff

“After reading this once, I quickly knew that my copy would become well-worn. Pete tells the truth in such a profound, yet relatable way, giving practical choices that will bring true healing and freedom to so many. Let Hope In is a powerful reminder that God can redeem and transform any situation, and that change really is possible.”

Natalie Grant

“With all the hurt and pain in the world today, people are hungry to hear the message of hope found in the good news of the Gospels. In Let Hope In, my friend Pete Wilson challenges you to make the practical choices that will set you free. Stop living as a prisoner of your past and read this book today!”

Rick Warren

“Pete Wilson is a master communicator with a gift for encouraging hurting people with just the right words. Let Hope In is a brilliant look at the healing and growth we can all experience in Christ. I seriously love this book and I’m so thankful Pete wrote it. I can’t wait to share it with others and see the healing this book points us to!”

Jud Wilhite

“Hope is one of the most powerful things in the world. With it there is not a problem that cannot be conquered, a relationship that cannot be restored, or a burden that cannot be lifted. However, we seem to live in a world that attacks the thought of having hope by consistently feeding us with information on how bad things are . . . and how bad things are going to be. I am so glad that Pete wrote this book to help us shift our thinking from how bad things can be to how good things can be, and how if we switch our thinking to making better choices that our lives will be flooded with hope unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.”

Perry Noble

“It is impossible to live fully without hope. Yet, so many are trying to live without it. Pete Wilson writes with compassion and confidence that every person may experience a new beginning in Christ and live with the confidence and expectation that the future is in His Hands. I highly recommend this very practical and helpful book.”

Jack Graham

“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. Some tragedy or mistake in the past totally derails their life and puts them in a downward spiral of guilt, shame, fear and regret. 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

“Pete Wilson doesn’t just write about hope—he embodies it. These are the choices that God uses to bring hope to you. I wouldn’t miss it!”

John Ortberg

“Senior Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church Author of Who Is This Man? “Read this book armed with a highlighter, Bible, and box of tissues. You will want to highlight several dozen great insights. You’ll want to read for yourself the Bible stories Pete presents. And the tissues? We all get emotional when hope comes in. Prepare yourself for tears of joy.”

Max Lucado

“Pete Wilson is the real deal. His life and ministry points you and me to a tangible hope available to us all. If you’ve ever felt like an unlikely candidate for hope in the present because of mistakes in the past, then welcome to the club. We’re all there. Pete’s latest book—and more importantly, the life he leads—points us to a God who loves unlikely candidates, bringing hope to those who might describe themselves or their situations as ‘hopeless’. In the Kingdom of God, hopeless isn’t a word that exists. Don’t believe me? Then, Let Hope In.”
