The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks.
“Giving thanks is at the heart of a thriving faith in God . It’s not a bonus , like heated car seats. It’s not an optional spiritual rhythm we add on when life seems great. It’s a necessary, daily, central practice to maintain worship and trust in life’s ups and downs”.

This book examines the biblical foundations for thankfulness and traces how it can reshape every-day Christian living. It’s a straightforward read, and laced with practical suggestions about how to make ’Thanksgiving’ the posture for our lives as Christians.
