*Hopelifter: Creative Ways to Spread Hope When Life Hurts
This book will challenge readers to become intentional as they serve others.
Book Review by Georgia Herod (Guest Post)
Just think about these scenarios: you lose your job, there’s more month than money, the doctor gives the diagnosis, your spouse says he’s leaving, your teenage daughter announces she’s pregnant, a neighbor calls to tell you your house is on fire, the phone rings in the middle of the night. Numerous other possibilities can set our hearts to pound and our breath to stall. What do we need most? Someone to walk alongside us, to encourage us, to do the daily chores, to pick up the kids at school, to help us pick up the pieces—and make it through the next hour, the next day, the next week.
Most of all we need HOPE. We need someone who will bring that hope. Kathe Wunnenberg knows how significant that need is. Because she has a heart of compassion, she is a hopelifter. Throughout the book Kathe shares stories which will inspire you to become the hands and feet of Jesus.
Because Kathe has experienced multiple losses and life challenges; she knows what hurting people need. This book will challenge readers to become intentional as they serve others. Writing out of her own grief, Kathe has compiled a list of “Recipes of Hope” which will give you ideas for being a hopelifter to broken hearts. You may determine to develop your own group of hopelifters. An inspiring read.

A walking miracle---her spiritual journey began at seven years old, when she was baptized by the late, Pastor K.L. Moore, Jr., of the First Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky, her birthplace. Very thankful for her spiritual upbringing which gave her a strong foundation and a respect for the word of God. Which now affords her the opportunity to share His word with others and testify about His saving her from leukemia.
She is the mother of six, a cancer survivor, pastor, and previous newspaper editor. Has published articles in The Voice In The Wilderness Magazine and a poem published in Great Poems of the Western World. She along with her husband, Elder Bobby Leach, live in Land O Lakes, Florida.
