Are you ready to give up pride, fear and control and embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude? Ann Voskamp shows that it can be done, having made the decision to slow down and be with God in the moment, and learning more about herself and God along the way.
In One Thousand Gifts Ann invites you into her life as she shares moments of grace, loss, pain and beauty as she takes on the dare to record one thousand of God's everyday blessings.
This is a challenge that everyone should take on in their lives. Many of us live our lives day to day, faced with debt, duty, trouble and stress. But that's not the life that God wants us to live. It is when we take the time to slow down, live in the moment and take notice of all of the blessings God gives us on a daily basis that we truly begin to live a life full of gratitude. With this gratitude comes a life of fearlessness and deep happiness.
Readers will be inspired by this book to change their own lives. Ann Voskamp is one of the most beautiful writers I have ever read. As she reflects on her parenting, farming and writing life, you can't help but be pulled into her journey and take on the challenge yourself. It isn't a book to read through in one sitting, it is one that needs to be marinated upon.
This is a book that you will read and re-read for years. It doesn't end when you turn the final page, it stays with you for a long time because it changes the way you live your life and how you spend your moments and brings you into a deeper relationship with God.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is dealing with pain in their life, wanting to live of a full life of gratitude or is looking for a deeper relationship with God in their everyday life.
