Hope is a human strength that enables people to overcome obstacles. Though it is an intangible phenomenon, its influence can be seen through a variety of accomplishments and triumphs of human endeavor. Hope can be introduced and cultivated. Some of the best purveyors of hope are educators and youth workers. Some of the individuals who need hope the most are children and teens. The relationships that caring adults build with youth provide nourishment, strength and safety amid a world rife with harsh social, cultural, economic, and political realities. In these cases, hope becomes a weapon that adults and youths use to fight despair and negativity, transcend challenges, and make a positive difference in their environment and world.
Dr. Marcus L. Arrington is an ecclesial leader and educator with over 17 years of experience as a teacher and school-level administrator in high-need urban schools. Dr. Arrington has a desire to encourage and equip youths and adults to transform their lives and their communities through faith, hope, and love. Dr. Arrington has authored two additional books: Young, Anointed and Empowered (2011) and The African Presence in the Bible for Children (2013). More important than any of his accomplishments, Dr. Arrington is a dedicated husband and father.
