The title is tongue-in-cheek. By saying \"here's hoping\" we usually fake hope because in reality we are not that hopeful. It is spoken without much confidence or hope at all and betrays uncertainty. We say it as we cast our wants and wishes, without much conviction, into the winds of fortune and the whims of the future, but without any sense of a guarantee for the desired result. \"Here's hoping\" speaks of longing that is not firing on all cylinders, of a dream or desire that is likely to stay that way, unrealized and unrequited. When we say it, we do not think \"cross my heart and hope to die\". That kind of vigorous assurance and commitment is not usually prompting the phrase. It is less about crossing the heart and more about crossing the fingers. It is less about surety and more about good luck. To say \"here's hoping\" is to prepare oneself for potential disappointment. Ironically, it is more an expression of hopelessness than hope. This book gives the reasons we can say \"Here's hoping\" with assured anticipation and confidence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart McAlpine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781664289987","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40828220473459,"sku":"9.78166E+12","price":43.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_5ec43a15-e4c4-4296-a5eb-1f3a97755666.jpg?v=1684328189","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/heres-hoping-recovering-hope-for-heaven-and-earth-9781664289987","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
