Gail: A thoughtful process that connects with her books and videos
United States on Jul 06, 2023
bargaingigi: I appreciate the value of this book during thanksgiving, advent, lent, or any season... Life is hard, but God is for our good. We have to trust that even during the hard times of life - He is always working. He is working for our good. Ann is a witness of how during her most desperate times, she found healing when she gave thanks. She walks us through our own thankfulness prayers and teaches us how to find healing also. I would have liked for the book to offer a code for the video online, instead, there is an additional purchase required to watch the video. I don't think the book will be as beneficial without watching the video content.

Mark and Carolyn Robitaille: I feel the book is overpriced for what you get. It has 90 pages and I paid over $15
I do look forward to reading it and studying it but where do you put a price limit on a book less than 100 pages.

Diane M. Glover: I only half paid attention when I first picked up this book. It even sat in the stack of (I'll get to it later reading) for a while before finally reaching my hands. But from the first chapter, from the first few paragraphs... I had to grab the box of hanky's. I had to hold on tight to the roller coaster of completely human and relate-able stories she uses to open our eyes to the biggest things missing in our lives. She hands us practical every day scenarios and explains how she choose to move from one way of thinking to another. All told I laughed, cried, and underlined, highlighted, star-ed and journal-ed through my whole copy. After which I have delved into the authors blog devouring every article, every thing as well as picking up all the books she has released.
The book is decently written though very poetic in it's presentation and imagery. Some people may not be able to relate to it as deeply because of that. Her wording is unique. and it equals the books purpose. If you do enjoy it I would advice to follow her on social medial as she is always posting uplifting tidbits, or handing around printable you can use in your home, etc.
enjoy.

Cindy Mcconnell: This is a profound book. It has life changing capabilities if you wish it to. The practise of counting the gifts that God has given to you every day should change your paradigm on life to one of gratitude, hope and trust. In becoming aware of how God has shown His love for you each day, you can trust that He has your back for the future, by realizing how, " gifted" you are, you will want to become a gift to others. There are many quotes that you will want to stick on your fridge to remind you of the nuggets of wisdom that come from this book. It is truly inspired.

Ruth Martens: The study guide was useful in personalizing the information from the author's book and DVD. It really made the group think and provided ideas requiring each of us to make it not only "our" study but our how to apply it to our life. We really began to to realize our "Big God" was also our Father who gives his children many gifts. It also helped us to recognize that even out of pain and troubles can come good gifts which initially some members hadn't really understood before. Most of us did try to journal which really helped our understanding. Some of the lessons were a bit too long so not all were completed at times.

Marcia Barton: Ann Voskamp's writing style is poetic and flowing, and I've read reviews indicating that's bothersome. It's more a psalm than a gospel, more a poem than a narrative tale. But it IS her story, of coming through tragedy and trying one way to live and then dropping all her defenses and being open to whatever God gives.
Her view, her way of telling what she sees, and her bedrock foundation in Scripture make this a book worth having, even if you don't like her writing style.
I know there are folks who have problems with it. For example, her use of the Scriptural analogy of bride and groom to explain the relationship between Christ and His church, for example, apparently gives some people the heebie-jeebies. (I would encourage them to remember just exactly WHERE she found that picture, to begin with.) Apparently, her finding God's fingerprints in her life on every single surface also undoes some people. I don't know what to say to them, except perhaps they might benefit from reading Brother Laurence's "Practicing the Presence." Perhaps the writing style in that book is more suited to their tastes, and the message is about the same: you find what you look for. Worship isn't...
