One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
Recommended by: Christin S.
In our busy lives, we are always making lists: to do lists, grocery lists, Christmas card lists. But what if we started a list of things we loved, of things for which we were grateful? This is the challenge that Ann Voskamp accepts and chronicles in her book One Thousand Gifts. As a farmer’s wife and mother of six children, she describes her journey of slowing down enough to see and appreciate the blessings in everyday life. Along the way, Voskamp shares how God helps us heal from loss and how to cultivate a spirit of thankfulness.
