Grateful

Sarah Walton

In the midst of a season filled with so much difficulty, gratitude has seemed like an impossible ask. And yet, as I read through these pages, I found my heart encouraged and convicted by Allison’s gentle, biblical, and real-life counsel—showing us that gratitude isn’t just about “thinking positive” but that it’s a posture of the heart that impacts every facet of the Christian life.

The pain and suffering that give Allison Brost every reason to grumble are what make her the perfect voice to exhort readers to be grateful. At no point will they think, “Easy for her to say,” because none of this is. Allison has tilled and toiled to cultivate gratitude in her own life and offers this book as a gardening guide to help others grow in gratefulness as well. Her action steps at the end of each devotion artfully allow for immediate application without encouraging self-reliance. As she writes, “It takes intentionality to grow gratefully,” and, with the help of the Master Gardener, Grateful is precisely the tool you need to do it.

“Great Devotional”

This is a wonderful devotional. Relatively short passages each day, but each packs a punch. Full of stories, wisdom, and pointing towards God and his word, I really appreciate it.

Sometimes we go through tougher seasons, and need a little push to focus on the positive. This book was just what I needed, and came about at the right time. Each day’s passage gives opportunities to really think, but are relatable and also easy to follow.

I appreciate how the author seamlessly helps you shift focus to God. And recognizes that though it may not always be easy, it’s important. Overall, a great devotional.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, received from @thegoodbookcompanyusa . However, all thoughts and views reflected are strictly my own opinions.

“Growing in Gratitude”

While we all want to grow in godliness and Christlikeness, gratitude is perhaps one of the least thought about. What does it mean for us to be thankful and grateful for what we have, for who we are, and for what God has done for us? These devotionals journey through some scripture extracts (taken from both the Old Testament and New Testament, some well-known and some lesser-known) to help us think about what it means to be grateful. Each day includes a short Bible reading, a devotional reading, and then something practical such as questions to answer and or a prayer to pray.

“A heart check on thankfulness in everyday life!”

Gratitude doesn’t come naturally—we need to be reminded to look past our circumstances and see God’s goodness. This book challenges the grumbling heart and points us toward true thankfulness, rooted in Christ. Short, thoughtful, and practical.
