Part I — The Invisible Realm
Explore why everything visible begins invisibly first: faith, thought, hope, belief, imagination, and the unseen beginnings of transformation.
The Substance of Hope
By Bruce Goldwell
A faith-based inspirational book about prayer, belief, action, divine timing, persistence, gratitude, and living as though possibility exists.
Make A Wish II: The Substance of Hope continues the journey that began in Make A Wish. Book I helped readers remember how to wish again. Book II goes deeper into the faith-based side of the issue: prayer, belief, hope, action, divine timing, delayed answers, gratitude, persistence, and transformation.
This book explores the powerful idea that faith is not fantasy, passivity, or empty emotion. Faith is movement before visible proof appears. Faith prepares before the answer arrives. Faith plants before harvest. Faith keeps walking before the full path is visible.
Explore why everything visible begins invisibly first: faith, thought, hope, belief, imagination, and the unseen beginnings of transformation.
Learn how faith becomes practical through action, preparation, expectation, gratitude, small steps, and movement.
Discover how to keep moving through delay, closed doors, uncertainty, divine timing, intuition, and faith-filled persistence.
Read about wishes that became reality, internal miracles, becoming ready to receive, and living as though possibility exists.
