What is this anthology?
It is a published collection of testimonies from people whose lives were changed through a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ. This is not a generic book about hope — it is a book about the Hope who has a Name.
What makes this anthology different?
Most anthologies today charge contributors large fees and use their stories to generate profit for the publisher. This one is different - intentionally.
Why your story matters:
Your testimony is not just a story — it is a seed of hope. Someone, somewhere, is praying for the very breakthrough God gave you. When you share it, you become part of His answer.
Want to share your story?
Thank you for considering being part of STORIES OF HOPE: The Essence of People Helping People. Together, we are building something eternal — one story at a time.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

And again, Isaiah says:
“There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, ...
An anthology is a published book containing stories from multiple authors gathered into one collection.
Because contributors are often charged expensive fees to share their story, and the publisher keeps all profits — even though authors do the writing and much of the marketing.
This project was birthed in prayer and directed by the Holy Spirit. It is free to submit, Christ-centered, and designed to serve a ministry, not a business.
Anyone who has experienced a true encounter with God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — may submit a story. However, those who have completed the Let’s Write Your Testimony course and/or have previously submitted their testimony through the Detox with Jesus website will be given first consideration, because the course templates and guided questions help shape a clear, safe, and well-structured testimony.
Clear, honest testimonies of transformation through Jesus — not vague “hope,” not motivational speeches, and not secular encouragement.
All profits will be used to:
1) Cover editing, design, and publishing costs
2) Support the Detox with Jesus website
3) Fund ministry outreach and resources
No contributor is charged, and the profits are dedicated to kingdom work.
Yes. Once the anthology is released on Amazon as an ebook or paperback (and possibly hardcover), every accepted contributor becomes a published author. You can therefore use this information when marketing the first book you write.
Absolutely! When each contributor promotes the anthology with family, friends, churches, social media, etc, it not only helps with sales and marketing of the book and boosts their credibility as an author, but many more people hear these inspired "STORIES OF HOPE", which is why the subtitle reads: "The Essence of People Helping People".
