The Bible says that Hope deferred makes the heart grow sick. Yet I believe that hope revealed is always worth the wait... Chad Veach is someone who knows how to wait on the Lord. He doesnt just talk about hope, he lives it day in and day out. He has proven time and time again that the joy of the Lord is our strength. I cant think of anyone I would like to hear from more on this subject. Im so grateful that he is willing to share about his greatest pain in order to bring others their greatest healing. I believe this book is going to be a blessing to many.

Its one thing to be positive, hopeful, and passionate about life when LIFE IS GOOD. The true test of joy, however, is how we function when life is inexplicably complicated and painful. I want to learn and glean from people who continually pass this test of joy in all circumstances. Chad and Julia? I simply dont know people who can maintain a joyful spirit through all seasons of life like them. This book will be an anchor of hope for many, as we all navigate the uncharted waters of this life.

CARL LENTZ, LEAD PASTOR, HILLSONG CHURCH, NEW YORK CITY

My friend Chad Veach delivers the kind of message that jumps off the pages and directly into your heart. Im not sure Ive read a book so profound yet so accessible. In these days we live in, Hope is essential and Chad helps us procure it in a significant and beautiful way!

ISRAEL HOUGHTON, RECORDING ARTIST AND WORSHIP LEADER AT LAKEWOOD CHURCH, HOUSTON, TEXAS

It is with great admiration that I have watched this young family live out their faith testimony on a public platformcourageously choosing to rise above their own circumstance with a love, faith, and hopeful patience that draws people to wonder why. Chads obvious love for others and contagiously joyful spirit compels you to discover more of the God he is so passionate aboutand his personal walk through trial and triumph will leave you with no doubt that our God can indeed bring about great purpose in seasons of great pain. We will never stop #PrayingForGeorgia.

BRIAN HOUSTON, FOUNDER AND GLOBAL SENIOR PASTOR OF HILLSONG CHURCH

Chads greatest sermon is that Hope has a name: Jesus. He taught me this with his life. Not from the stage. The stage of life is the greatest platform and Chad and Julia encourage us every day that we serve a God greater than any circumstance. Im thankful for his friendship and example of Gods love.

JERRY LORENZO, FASHION DESIGNER

Its said about a very select group of people that when they walk into a room, it lights up. Ignoring any excuse to do the contrary, Chad brings a light that is infectious and engulfing of any heaviness. I got a G tattooed on my forearm as a representation of the belief and the hope I stand in with Chad, Julia, and Georgia. Its a representation of the hope that is available in every situation. Its a representation of defeated darkness and ever-present light no matter the size of the shadowed diagnosis. Our hope is alive and living. Im thankful for Chad and Julia and the tangible proof they show in their amazing Georgia.

RYAN GOOD, STYLIST FOR JUSTIN BIEBER, ACTOR, AND PRODUCER OF THE TV SHOW PUNKD

With raw honesty and infectious faith, Chad Veach reveals his encounter with Gods promises when his infant daughter was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder. The result is a book you will read, reread, and give to others who struggle with pain. Unreasonable Hope speaks to the doubt, fear, and uncertainty we all experience when life goes off the railsand transforms them into the peace, joy, and hope that comes from trusting God.

CHRIS HODGES, SENIOR PASTOR, CHURCH OF THE HIGHLANDS; AUTHOR OF FRESH AIR AND FOUR CUPS

[Georgias] influence has been profound and far reaching already and with the telling of her story through this book, it is set to spread even further, reminding us of this powerful force that the Bible tells us will remain along with faith and love: (unreasonable) hope.

BROOKE FRASER, MUSIC ARTIST

Unreasonable Hope holds the keys to one of the great questions of life: How can we find purpose in our pain? This book will inspire anyone who is struggling to feel love and grace during lifes worst moments.
