FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "This worthy meditation on an essential state of being uplifts without sugarcoating."--Publishers WeeklyWhat is gratitude? Where does it come from? Why do we need it? How does it change us?In Gratitude, award-winning author Cornelius Plantinga explores these questions and more. Celebrating the role of gratitude in our lives, Plantinga makes the case that it is the very key to understanding our relationships with one another, the world around us, and God.Going deeper than mindfulness and positive psychology, Plantinga explores gratitude in a theologically informed and pastorally sensitive way. He shows that being grateful to God is not only our righteous duty but also the single best predictor of our well-being.
