Grand Rapids, MI – Candace Cameron Bure wants to glorify God with her life. The actress tells The Christian Post why she decided to release her latest devotional, Wild Hope.
“You think about all the accomplishments in life, your goals, what you want to achieve, what you have achieved,” Bure shares with the press. “Yet, as you get older, I know that turning 50 reminded me that the accomplishments and the goals aren’t what I consider successes in life,” the actress and producer explains.
“I think about the legacy that I want to leave with my children, with my grandchildren, and publicly as a public person,” Bure says. “That is sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and sharing the love of God.”
Some know Candace Cameron Bure as “D.J. Tanner” from Full House. The show aired from 1987 until 1995, and gained quite the following. In fact, Netflix released a spinoff of the original series, which was called Fuller House, in 2016. The show served as nostalgia for millennials who grew up with the Tanners.
Now, Candace Cameron Bure is preparing to be a grandmother as two of her children are expecting. In her latest devotional, Bure aims to revive hope in those who follow her 30-day plan.
“We all need hope,” she tells The Christian Post . “You can often lose hope that life isn’t going the way you expected or wanted or even prayed about,” Bure admits.
“My whole goal is that you would be reminded of how much God loves you,” the actress shares. “When you have a perspective that looks toward God at who God is, and not just ourself and our circumstances, things then can start to change. There is beauty even in the ashes.”
Wild Hope made its debut last month. Those interested in devotionals that connect life stories to scriptures may want to pick up this study. The devotional also offers photography that is meant to help readers block out distractions and center on the session at hand.
