by J. B. Powell (Author)
The Greatness of Gratitude takes a naked look at what it means to live a thankful life. It reminds us that while we have little or no control over many of the things that come our way, we have power and governance over how we react to them. This book provokes us to evaluate how we treat each other, manage our relationships, and utilize our time. It moves us to consider the biblical foundation for gratitude and the discipline and intricacies of living a gracefully grateful life. It moves the reader to live thoughtfully and thankfully so that gratitude becomes the dominant thread that is woven in the fabric of his life.
