Publisher's Description

Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again. —Anne Frank

In life’s most uncertain moments, hope is our anchor—steady, unwavering, and full of promise. Anchor of My Soul is a beautifully curated collection of literary reflections, poetry, scripture, and art that celebrates the enduring power of hope and the strength of the human spirit.

A Journey Through Hope’s Many Dimensions
Organized into three evocative sections, this book offers a deeply moving exploration of what it means to wait, trust, and anticipate with faith:

  • Patient Waiting – Finding peace in seasons of uncertainty
  • Taut Expectancy – Holding onto faith amid life’s tensions
  • Trustful Anticipation – Looking forward with confidence and courage

Timeless Voices of Encouragement
Immerse yourself in the wisdom of C.S. Lewis, Emily Dickinson, Nelson Mandela, Helen Keller, Victor Hugo, Nikki Grimes, and more, whose words illuminate the path of perseverance and renewal.

A Visual and Spiritual Feast
Accompanied by breathtaking artwork from masters like Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Vermeer, and Degas, and a lovely ribbon marker, each page is a reminder of beauty, faith, and the light that shines even in darkness.

The Perfect Gift of Comfort & Inspiration

  • A timeless keepsake for those seeking encouragement and renewal
  • A meaningful gift for loved ones facing difficult times or embarking on new journeys

Editorial Reviews

"What a beautiful and inspiring collection of writings focused on hope and trust in God Anchor of My Soul is to read and meditate upon! Emily Dickinson, Tolstoy, C.S. Lewis, O. Henry, Walter Ciszek, Nelson Mandela, Marilynn Robinson and Nikki Grimes and so many other vibrant voices gathered here in this splendid symphony—accompanied as it is by an array of luminous paintings placed skillfully throughout--that it is no wonder the spirit is moved to sing out with joy. A shout out to Paraclete Press for making this collection possible. Reader, here is a book that will stay with you like that lark in winter for a long, long time." — Paul Mariani, University Professor of English Emeritus at Boston College

"The First Epistle of Peter encourages "always be ready to give reason for the hope that is in you" (3:15). Which is why Anchor of my Soul could not come at a time more needed. This beautiful collection of poems, songs, art work and writings, classical and contemporary, is a treasury that will give reason for hope to our own hearts and encourage us to lend hope to others. What a gift!"—Thomas Groome, Senior Professor of Theology and Religious Education at Boston College

"This book, printed on quality stock is a feast for both the eyes and the heart. It is easy to lose heart in our doomscrolls of despair. The work reminds us that there is another, deeper story that we need to hear. Instead of being mired in the "Slough of Despond," the writers invite us to join the saints through history and the many who, this year, have embarked on a "Pilgrimage of Hope." -- Bob Trube, Bob on Books

"If, like me, you’re weary of glib books on hope, filled with easy promises, this new collection from Paraclete Press may be a refreshing change of pace. In these pages we walk with others who have endured great pain and loss—and still found meaning in their lives. Carefully curated selections from scripture, poets, novelists, political prisoners, presidents, bereaved parents, and artists combine to demonstrate that God understands our darkest moments. Each page is redolent of calm compassion and true communion with, as the editors write, "the hope that does not disappoint." —David Bannon, author of Wounded in Spirit: Advent Art and Meditations
