by Ann Voskamp

Book Overview

In everything, give thanks.

How do those four words strike you? Na?ve? Infuriating? Impossible? Offensive?

For Ann Voskamp, the notion of being able to give thanks was lost between her gnawing anger and deep resentment toward God for his unfair dealings in her life and the lives of others. Having suffered from agoraphobia and anxiety for much of her life, she despaired of finding a joy of her own...

Customer Reviews

I have read this book and given it as gifts to others.

This is NOT a quick read. It is a book to savor and let soak into your soul. Because this book has been so important in my life, I have given many copies away. I am now getting ready to do a Bible study with it.

So thankful

This book was not easy to read at first because of author's writing style, but I am so glad I read the whole thing. You can see her growth while you are growing!

One Thousand Gifts opens your eyes and heart to the love that God has for his children

This book is for all women who stay at home with their husband and raise their children. I wish it had been available when I was a young married woman who stayed home and cared for my family. It is absolutely amazing. The gifts God gives us are endless, if we are willing to see them as such, and seeing everything as His gifts opens up our hearts to the love he has for us and when we offer gratitude for these gifts, we are open to His indwelling in us. We become better mothers, wives and friends. We bask in God's love and kindness.

I recommend this book to everyone.

Love this book. Everyone should give it a read. Especially if you have some rooted bitterness toward God or if you have lost someone close to you.

A deep look into the present moment. Ann takes us into her home and through daily activities, finds

I was so impressed with her insights of the ways our daily world connects with God.
