20 Catalytic Hope Quotes by Steve Backlund

I have invested much of my life to understand hope, experience hope, and share it with others. I have come to know that hope is not just a perspective we can have in life, but it is who God is. I believe, after love, it is the most important quality for influence and catalytic leadership. It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of hope. Because of that, I am thrilled to announce my new book, Igniting Hope in 40 Days. It is a devotional with some of my latest hope revelations. We are combining this book with daily videos for a special opportunity in January.

40 Days of Hope Starts on January 3 – We have an incredible hope-igniting opportunity to start the new year. It combines my new 40 day devotional book, Igniting Hope in 40 Days, with a short video from me for each day to take the written content to another level. This devotional is ideal for personal growth and breakthrough, or to do with another person or group. You can find out more details about 40 Days of Hope here. 

As we are getting ready to enter a new year, I want to share my best hope quotes that I often repeat. May your hope be ignited as you read through this list:
