Sunrises and Sunsets: A Daily Journey of Renewal, Redemption, and Rejoicing illustrates a different understanding of hope that will give confidence to the reader that hope is possible to have again. Interspersed in the daily devotions are three stories of persons who discovered hope again when they were able to redefine what hope is really and then be able to reperceive the struggle they are facing that does not include seeing oneself as a victim or a persecutor, but as a child of God with a vision of renewal and redemption. "My friend and colleague, Dr. Bill Stephenson, offers us a unique book that takes the reader on an intriguing journey of reflection and response. His intention is to guide us into a deep and honest conversation with ourselves. Frequently he addresses his "soul," a voice within all of us, not easily heard, but often rewarding." - Rev. Richard Smith, retired United Methodist Minister and Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor. "To me, the elegant simplicity of having a prayer to begin my day and a subsequent prayer when the day reaches its predictable end is wonderful. How much better things would be if I were reminded, on a daily basis, to do just that: talk to God. And having a space to record my reflections takes the whole experience to another level." - Rick Morris, Award-Winning Educator and Author.
