Our Hope is in Help

What Keeps Us from Asking for Help and How We Live by Leaning on God’s Word

In a culture obsessed with self-reliance, Pierce Taylor Hibbs reveals a profound truth: our greatest strength lies not in standing alone, but in learning to lean. Drawing from biblical narratives and personal insights, Our Hope Is in Help exposes autonomy as the dangerous ghost haunting modern life—the stubborn belief that we can “go it alone.”

Through the stories of Abraham’s deception, Moses’ rebellion, and David’s tragic fall, Hibbs unveils autonomy’s destructive anatomy: blindness, reductionism, control, mastery, and ultimately, self-idolatry.

Hibbs challenges readers to embrace what we were created for: beautiful dependence on God and each other. In a world promoting toxic independence, this book offers a revolutionary truth—our hope has always been in help, and that’s exactly where our joy begins.
