Packed full of real-life stories from across the globe, Patrick Regan invites you to see how we as Christians can take ownership of helping the most vulnerable in society with Jesus' love.
Servants of Christ are in the transformation business.

This kind of transformation will only happen if we refuse to be seduced by false idols like success, money, fame and security to become the church we were called to be. We need to take ownership of the problems around us and work with people who are suffering in order to find solutions and offer lasting change.

In No Ceiling to Hope, Patrick travels the globe to find examples of this change: In Bolivia, he reports how Christian backing for education projects is allowing families to find a way out of poverty. In London, XLP is mentoring young people to turn aside from violence. In Los Angeles, a new future is being offered to gang girls. In high security prisons in the UK and US, the Spirit is turning lives around. In Belfast's Shankill Road area, a group of elderly ladies is cooking meals for men who sit all day in local pubs . . . The list is extensive, and inspiring. The common element is that, in all circumstances, Christ is offering hope.

Be inspired afresh that, when it comes to what Jesus can do, there really is no ceiling to hope.

Patrick Regan OBE is the is the author of five books. His two books published by Monarch Books are: No Ceiling to Hope and WhenFaith Gets Shaken. He is founder and CEO of Kintsugi Hope, a charity which aims to create safe and supportive spaces for those suffering from emotional and mental health challenges.
