Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”

Throughout the ages, humans have tried to measure the limit of the sky or reach the end of the horizons. Having control over every aspect of their lives is something every individual dream of having. Nevertheless, life is full of surprises. After a particular line, things often get beyond human control, which is when only God’s plan works. Certain times, humans find themselves stuck in a situation that may seem never-ending. Yet, the essential tool for getting oneself out of it is nothing but hope.
Hope has the power to move mountains. It possesses the power to get through the most difficult times by helping humans get out of despair. Other than widening the horizons, hope has the ability to show the light at the end of the tunnel. When every door in life seems closed, it is the only thriving force for the individuals to get through their journey.
Keeping hope during testing times is as challenging as it can get. Nevertheless, several individuals have portrayed the courage of keeping their hope alive, which has helped them carve a way to get of a situation. Jami Amerine, an author, speaker, and blogger, is a live example of such individuals who have believed in the immense power of hope.
Holding onto Hope
Born on September 26, 1971, in Avenal, California, Jami loved asking questions. Even though she was born to a Mormon mother, Jami found herself wandering about her religious views. After a certain point in life, she lost track and turned away from Jesus. Jami, nevertheless, never lost hope. She kept searching for answers with an aim to find her true faith by searching different channels in life.
“If, like me, you’ve stepped on a Lego while barefoot, it can be difficult to wrap your mind around the divine qualities of the path beneath your feet,” saysJami. Keeping her heart and vision full of hope and aspiration to find her destination, Jami wrote the book called “Stolen Jesus: An Unconventional Search for the Real Savior.” The initial three chapters of the book were her struggling journey of finding her true faith. After that, she stumbled upon the story of Grace that restored her belief in Jesus.
After finding the path she had been looking for all along, Jami structured her book by giving it a direction and writing her entire journey. The rest of the chapters then discuss unfolding Jesus’s several versions and his role in an individual’s life. Published in October 2017, “Stolen Jesus: An Unconventional Search for the Real Savior” is considered one of the most reliable books that lead to finding Jesus.
Since everything in life doesn’t go as planned, Jami had never thought about becoming a published author. She started writing for the blog known as “Sacred Ground, Sticky Floors,” which involved a wide range of topics such as foster care, chronic illnesses, learning disabilities, adoption, homeschooling, and Christianity. Her blog was a huge hit among the readers, bringing her recognition for the issues she raised her voice and views about.
Being in the spotlight through her blog enabled Jami to come across an opportunity with an Oregon-based Christian publishing house, Harvest House. By signing the two-book contract with the company, Jami had now officially entered the writing world. After the success of the “Stolen Jesus: An Unconventional Search for the Real Savior” as her first book, Jami then went ahead with her second one called “Sacred Ground: Stick floors,” named after her blog. After the second publishing in 2018, Jami was known far and wide due to her diligent writing skills and being a guide to the readers.
Building her portfolio in the literary world, Jami has further authored the book “Well, Girl: An Inside Out Journey to Wellness” in August 2020, a guide for women to accept themselves as a whole. By showing women how their inner beauty holds more significance than the outer one, Jami’s book is a perfect piece for today’s times that gives more value to conventional beauty.
A Sneak Peek into Her Personal Life
Jami’s educational background fueled her interest in social issues such as foster care and adoption. Before entering the literary world, Jami acquired her Bachelor’s degree in Science Family and Consumer Science from Abilene Christian University. After graduating in 1996, Jami stepped in Hardin Simmons University and received her Master’s in Education in Counseling and Human Development in 1998.
With a passion within her to work for society’s betterment, Jami also acts as a speaker. She enjoys talking to different women groups about causes that are close to her heart. After her half a decade of experience in the women’s ministry, Jami is now known as a renowned and well-celebrated speaker, inspiring millions of Christian women globally.
By using anecdotes that are not just hilarious but enlightening, Jami has been able to attract a lot of audience by showing them the right track. Her writing and speaking skills are counted as one of the most moving ones in the literary world. With her next book, “Rest, Girl: A Journey from Exhausted and Stressed to Richly Blessed,” releasing the following year, Jami is all set to bless the audience with another masterpiece.
