The Grumbler's Guide to Giving Thanks: Reclaiming the Gifts of a Lost Spiritual Discipline - Paperback

by Dustin Crowe (Author), Hannah Anderson (Foreword by)

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.
