Consuming Hope: A Father and Son's Journey Through Four Days to Live – Inspiring True Story for Book Clubs & Personal Reflection

Pastor, farmer, and now author, Ryan Fasani, brings to us a powerful and inspiring true story about a modern day “crucifixion”. Condensed into four heart-wrenching days, Consuming Hope is a rare and intimate look into the final stage of his father’s battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). When Fasani stepped away from Christian ministry to seek renewal and a new level of self-discovery, he didn’t expect to be faced with his father’s imminent death. And yet in those final hours of vulnerability and struggle he and his father experienced nothing short of a life-altering miracle.Consuming Hope is an immersive experience into two journeys. Fasani leans on the Emmaus Road story from the Gospel of Luke to help make sense of the treacherous terrain at the end of life, which becomes for the reader an encouragement to reckon wholeheartedly with suffering, doubts, and the possibility of hope in darkness. From the first page, powerful currents of longing, grace, and hospitality will quickly carry the reader through and remain as gifts of sustenance that will not be forgotten.
