Summary:

"Defiant Hope is his writings about the things he loved--humanity, God, his dog, and his boys. Essays feature the immensely complicated sadness when you drop your children off at college for the first time. Another is about his public battle of depression. He also includes chapters about men and women who formed this great procession of Christian Reformers--John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, William Wilberforce, and Olaudah Equiano--and the great causes to which they were devoted, from abolitionism to civil rights." -- Provided by publisher.
