Trials will befall everyone: no matter the age, race, gender or wisdom in life. Author Anthony Clark knows well facing trials in life, having endured a poor childhood in a broken home and growing up in the projects. His autobiography, Chronicles of Hope, recounts Anthony’s struggle against fear that lead to his difficulties with family and influence from drugs and alcohol. His relationship with God was also a source of difficulty, as Anthony saw the trials as indications of uncertainty for tomorrow. However, God guided Anthony’s path with His promises of hope that helped to heal spiritual wounds and keep him on track with starting a ministry with his wife, even during times when the Church rejected them. The knowledge Anthony gained through his life experiences he offers to readers, coupled with scripture verses that inspire assurance in Christ. There is hope in trials, found with God’s love and faith.
