A Bright Tomorrow: Facing the Future Without Fear

“We occupy a time where fear is the dominant chord: fear the future, fear death, fear pain. Mellingers book abounds in practical and biblical wisdom pointing us to the bright future we have in Christ. God has promised us an inheritance, goodness, mercy, and resurrected life. This is a timely word and a book that needs a wide reading. Christians can be eternal optimists because we already know the end of the story.”

“We live in a scary world. Fear of an unseen, menacing future often troubles our hearts and robs us of joy. Jared Mellingers A Bright Tomorrow demonstrates from Gods Word that everyone who trusts Jesus has a Protector who is almighty, always faithful, overwhelmingly loving, and ever present. And Pastor Mellinger speaks from experience: for their own family, the Mellingers are embracing the hope that comes from Gods rock-solid promises.”

“This is a beautiful book torn out of a fathers own anguished heart. Reading these words it was clear, not only is it important to Jared that his readers hear this and believe it, but it is most important to the writer himself. We all have fears about the future and sometimes those fears can be acute, even paralyzing. Reading Jareds book was soothing medicine that helped set my mind on things that are unseen but real and enduring. Give this book to someone you care about who is anxious about the future.”

“I am grateful for Jareds book and Aggies story where Grace Reigns even where shadows fall and the sorrows rain. Such profound confidence in the past, present and future promises of God that cannot fail is gospel triumph.”

“This book will help you to see. When your yesterday or today has been bleak, the road ahead looks only dark. Jared has brought together much of what Scripture says about tomorrow in a way that you will have courage to forge ahead with hope. Read it slowly.”

“This isnt pastoral hyperboleI absolutely love Jared Mellingers new book, A Bright Tomorrow. As those in union with Christ, we are hard-wired for hope, whether or not we have yet to see, experience, and enjoy this wiring and hope. God will bring to completion the good work he has begun, not only in us as his beloved daughters and sons, but also in his entire creation. This is our hope. This is our living, heart-transforming, all-creation renewing, mission-engaging hope. With art and heart, Jared not only throws the curtains wide open on the glories of our all-things-new future, he also demonstrates the present power of remembering Gods future into our present moment.”

“I interact with a lot of people who have faced the devastation of losing a child. When your worst fears have become your reality, some wrestling with whether or not you can genuinely trust God moving forward and what that should look like is inevitable. Ive wanted a book that I could give to people who ask me what to do with the very real fears they have about the future. And now I have it. A Bright Tomorrow offers readers a sound, scripture-saturated, concise, and winsome invitation to trust God with everything.”

“Through Jesus, Christians have a God of hope (Rom. 15:13). But we are so prone to allowing circumstances, trials, disappointments, failures, heartaches, and worries to cloud the sun of our unconquerable hope. This little book radiates hope, shining with the assurance of our Heavenly Father, Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off (Prov. 23:18). I initially read A Bright Tomorrow because I was asked to do so in view of possibly writing an endorsement. Now that Ive written it, I intend to read the book again because it encouraged me so much the first time.”
