“In her urgent call for solace in a world caught in the crux of disorder and chaos, Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim offers this anthology of meditations on our individual plight to nurture hope. Hope in Disarray imparts the architecture of hope through pieces of the modern world, giving relevance to our effort to enhance the relationship between the mind, the spirit, and the divine.”—Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., President and Founder of Rainbow PUSH Coalition
With practicality and vulnerability, author and public theologian Grace Ji-Sun Kim reflects on the practice of sustaining hope during turbulence and injustice. Hope in Disarray is a collection of essays that invite a conversation on culture and faith, creation and identity, as the author appeals to readers to engage life’s troubles with the conviction of God’s goodness.
Hope in Disarray takes the world’s pain seriously in order to ignite our intentional, revolutionary, and integrated living.
