Here is the book summary:
Trade Grumbling for Gratitude—Experience
God like Never Before
The apostle Paul instructed the
Philippians to be anxious in nothing and thankful in everything. And when he
said everything—he meant everything. We can all agree that this is easier said
than done. Disappointments and discontent may cause you to slip into
dissatisfaction, and grumbling becomes a state of mind—gratitude seems
impossible to find. However, what if this is the precise reason you lack the
joy of a God-filled life? Instead of a reaction to when things are going well,
what if gratitude is actually necessary to knowing the hope of our gracious
God?
This
is exactly what Pastor Dustin Crowe identifies in The Grumbler’s Guide
to Giving Thanks. Dustin examines the biblical foundations of thankfulness
and traces how it can reshape every-day Christian living. When we express
gratitude in all things, we not only praise our Creator, we also get to know
Him better. With The Grumbler’s Guide, you’ll learn how to practice
thanksgiving in both simple and extraordinary ways, even when you’re tempted to
dwell on the negative. You’ll find your outlook on life realigned to see the
hand of God in everything, strengthening your trust in Him. And in doing so,
you’ll find greater, more joy-filled reasons to continue expressing thanks to
our good and generous God.
And now, my review:
The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks by Dustin
Crowe is in my opinion a must read for all Christ-followers. I found this book to be easy to read but
filled with something that sounds easy but is deeper than first look. To pause, take a moment, and drink in the
complexity of giving thanks. This author
had me pondering the depths of his words.
I know that I will be coming back to this one over the years and it’s a
must have for me to keep on my shelf.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange
for my honest review.
