Hope Through the Dark by Samuel Pipim

You think you’re finished and that all hope is lost? Take courage… There may be dark clouds, but your sun has not set. God knows how to lift us up, out of our predicaments. He knows how to fix our broken worlds: broken hearts, broken hopes, broken homes, broken health, and broken lives. There is not a problem that Christ cannot fix. He brings beauty out of ugly situations. New growth out of dead ashes. Sweet-smelling life out of foul-smelling rottenness. After Failure empties your cup, God’s grace can fill it to its brim again. Are you discouraged? Don't give up!

Hope through the Dark is an inspirational book that seeks to encourage those who are dealing with the bitter pain of personal failure, hurt inflicted by others, or both. It shows how to turn those bitter lemons into sweet lemonades of life. Explaining why he employs short inspirational nuggets to convey his message of hope, the author writes:

Without the dark, we cannot clearly see the stars. Similarly, the dark moments of adversity often reveal some of life’s most valuable gifts or blessings. … The nuggets in this book capture some of the precious lessons I learned during my journey through the gloomy night of failure, betrayal, loneliness, and ill-treatment. ... The inspirational thoughts are presented in a simple nugget style, so that those in need of encouragement and hope would be quickly soothed to hold on and move on in their own journey through the dark.

Grounded in the Word of God, Hope through the Dark is for those who have felt the sharp, stinging blows of doubts and discouragement on account of the failure or hurt they have experienced.

“The journey would not be easy. But through God’s grace and mercy, you can have hope through the dark. And you can confidently say, ‘It is well—even in the well’.”

Samuel Pipim EAGLESonline: Centers of Leadership Development

EAGLESonline is an acronym for Empowerment and Advisory Group for leadership, excellence and service. It is an organization that was started by Dr. Samuel Pipim, a Ghanaian born author and speaker. This is an organization that aims to bring about a positive change in the lives of people that it comes in contact with by interpreting the infallible, two-thousand year old biblical verses that are still applicable to modern day lives. It teaches that leadership is not about bullying others or feeding on the misfortunes of others to feel powerful, rather it begins by being humble and putting the interest of others ahead of yours.

On EAGLESonline.org Dr. Samuel Pipim puts up everyday teachings, with references from the Bible, as weekly nuggets to read and introspect upon. They have events like retreats and seminars at various places around the world.  They organize motivational talks for businesses and corportions, transformational and revival presentations for churches, mentorship programs for young professional groups and leadership training and innovative solutions for all. 

EAGLESonline has two centers of leadership development: the EAGLES Center and the ANANSE Center. The former was set up to help people deal with the complexities of the modern day life by being optimistic. The latter, the ANANSE center, carries out similar work in Africa, while being sensitive to the special needs of the people of this area. Dr. Samuel Pipim was himself born and raised in Ghana so he understands the special needs of the people of this region. Ananse actually stands for “spider” in Ghanaian and is a popular creature in Ghanaian folklore. The ANANSE center uses this as a tool to focus on insights of innovative thinking.

All these training programs are achieved through and centered on Biblical principles. EAGLESonline soars on lending a helping hand to one and all without discriminating on any basis. Check out EAGLESonline.org and drpipim.org to know more.
