Today is the Day That Hope Prevails!

August 16, 2016 by Patti 14 Comments

Three things we need - Hope Prevails

Ten months ago I met the Happiest Girl in the World! 

We’d been in the same online writer’s group for some time and within this group I always noticed her joy shining through the crowd of hundreds.  Attracted to the light within her I began to follow her writings where she offers hope to the hurting.  As a Neurophychologist Dr. Bengtson’s doctorly advice is amazing, but it was her joy-filled countenance, positive attitude, and sheer energy that struck me most about this new friend of mine. 

Where did this contagious joy come from?

When Dr. Michelle and I finally met face-to-face at the Allume writer’s conference last Fall, and she asked me to be a part of her book launch team for Hope Prevails, I was ecstatic!  She was, in my mind, one of the BIG ones!  A writer of substance.  A writer with authority.  A writer with a long list of letters coming after her name to show that she was worthy of paying heed to.

And given the opportunity to read an advanced copy of her book I would have the chance to inspect the reason for her JOY.

Hope Prevails cover-medium I’m pleased to announce that TODAY is the formal release of Dr. Michelle’s new book, Hope Prevails!  This book is unique in that it offers insight from Dr. Michelle’s personal journey through depression.  I was stunned to learn that this joy-filled woman once lived without hope and in the depths of despair.  In her desperation she tried using the same methods she’d given her patients to overcome depression only to find that they didn’t work.  This is when she began addressing the spiritual side of depression.  Dr. Michelle states that if we don’t address the spiritual side , We are just applying band aids and hoping our soul gets well #HopePrevails Click To Tweet

She also states emphatically that,

Depression does not have to become a permanent way of life #HopePrevails Click To Tweet

This is good, GOOD news!

This book is Dr. Bengtson’s life’s work. In it she shares how God can shine the brightest light in our darkest moments so that we are not alone. As Dr. B. says, My book, Hope Prevails, shows us that nothing we face is too big for God. ‪#‎HopePrevails‬. Click To Tweet
This book is powerful and offers real HOPE.  I wholeheartedly recommend Hope Prevails and cordially invite you to get a copy of Dr. Michelle Bengtson’s book today.  If not for you, then for someone you love.

Hope Prevails available NOW

Expect to be blessed!

    Hi Patti, I’m reading the same book. I had the privilege of participating in a writers’ group with Michelle last year. That woman is the real deal. You’re right. I’ve never met a more joyful person, and she’s been through it! Blessings to you.

I can think of a few people this book would encourage. I hope you have a wonderful week and may God richly bless you and yours in all your endeavors!

    Today is the day that hope prevails.
    Those words calms my soul.
    Though i walk through the valleys . i will fear no evil.
    By the waters ..my heart will trust in you.
    – The psalmist
    It is well Patti! He will light your path and keep you strong.
