Description

Discover the joy and well-being that comes with the daily expression of gratitude. Join New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp to create a rhythm of gratitude that permeates every area of your life, every day of the year.

Gifts and Gratitudes is a daily companion that urges you to savor every moment by recognizing and listing only three things you are grateful for each day. This life-altering practice will allow you to record and reflect upon more than one thousand gifts of blessing throughout the year. Multiple studies show that expression of gratitude helps:

  • Lower stress levels
  • Benefit relationships
  • Improve physical and mental health
  • Help deal with adversity
  • Support and improve mental health and overall wellbeing

 

Through the daily and healing practice of gratitude, you can discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. A perfect book to use on its own or as a thoughtful companion to One Thousand Gifts, Ann's bestselling book that takes readers on the transformative journey of chronicling God's gifts in their lives. This unique format allows you to express your own gratitude with three lines per day for you to reflect on the day's unique blessings. You'll then move to the next day, and at the end of the month, return to the beginning, the first day of the month.

In this beautiful journal, Ann provides:

  • Devotional content for every day of the month to guide your gratitude journey
  • Prayers for every day of the month
  • Written out Bible verses
  • Her personal, stunning photography
  • Space to record your gifts every day of the year

 

It's only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted...a life we can take, give thanks for, and offer others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God and showered with His gifts.

Such a lovely devotional focusing on gratitude, with space to write three things you are grateful for daily. I found that my faith strengthened and my stress levels lessened as I read, leading to both joy and a sense of being incredibly blessed by God. Highly recommended!

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

“And when you name the gifts in your life, you are blessing the very name of God himself”!

This is a wonderful devotion and journaling tool to guide a Christian through the gifts and grace in their life and the grace and gratitude those gifts bring. This book is filled with corresponding scripture and journaling sections as well.

Definitely would recommend this author.

This will make a wonderful gift for someone close to you. Ann knows the benefits of a daily gratitude practice and shares a step-by-step guide in this new book. It is beautiful and well thought out. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I plan to gift my best friend one once it comes out in October.

Beautiful book! I loved the aesthetics, the writing, and the space to add your own content. Ann Voskamp has a way of infusing grace and simplicity in all that she shares. This collection is meant to help you live out and capture your own experiences with recognizing and recording your own awareness of the gifts in your life. It truly is a journal written by you, with meaningful prompts woven throughout to guide you. Even if you have never read the book that inspired this. One Thousand Gifts, you can appreciate and utilize the journal. Each day of the year is an opportunity to recognize the good things in your life. The way that the chapters are broken out though are very helpful. There is a “chapter” for every day of the month that begins with a reflection and includes a verse and short prayer. There is space for you to write three gifts on that particular day. At the end of the year, you will have the privilege of looking back at all the gifts in your life.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

Great devotional! Great gift! Ann’s writing is poetic and meaningful. Her practice of gratitude has changed my life, and this book is a nice way to keep that message at the forefront of my mind.

Ann Voskamp’s writing truly speaks to my heart—Her depth really resonates with me! The Gift and Gratitudes book was a joy to read, and it taught me so much about the significance of gratitude, whether it's for the big things or the little ones. It made me rethink my mindset; I can find a thousand things to be thankful for.

The scripture references throughout the book was wonderful, adding a spiritual depth that made the message even more powerful. The beautiful photography, combined with the space to write down personal reflections of thankfulness, made the experience both enriching and meaningful.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for a free advanced copy of this ebook to review. All opinions are my own.

I love the way that this journal is laid out. In Gifts and Gratitudes, Ann Voskamp takes each day of the month to teach us about different types of God’s grace. It was truly eye opening to me. I think taking the time to list out things you’re grateful for every day can really help with shifts in perspective.

Ann Voskamp has a wonderful way with words and this Gifts & Gratitudes guided journal was lovely. This would make a great gift for the christian woman in your life. The prompts to list 3 things a day you are grateful for are perfect for promoting a more grateful heart.. Sometimes being grateful for the blessings in your life is easier said than done, and this journal will help you regain your perspective if you find yourself focusing on the negative aspects of your life. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to others! Thank you Ann Voskamp and Netgalley for the opportunity to arc read this prayer journal.

Gifts and Gratitudes is a gratitude journal combined with a devotional, written in the true style of Ann Voskamp. It holds 31 devotionals that focus on gratitudes, while having space to track gifts every day of the year. This is a wonderful idea, a different way of tracking gifts. What I think, though, is that I would have left out the photos of Ann Voskamp and her children as it’s a little weird to have those photos in a journal.

Sometimes just being grateful for God, what He has done and is doing for us makes a huge difference in our lives. This is a very insightful prayer book.

I received an advanced reader’s copy from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. Opinions are my own.
