The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks includes a thirty-day Gratitude Challenge as an Appendix. The Gratitude Challenge includes a daily reading focused on gratitude (or grumbling) as well an encouragement to record five things you can thank God for each day. Like any habit, it takes time and intentionality to cultivate thanksgiving. The more we do it, the more it becomes part of our rhythms and responses.
I’ve written a devotional to go along with each day’s passage from the Gratitude Challenge. The daily devotional will focus on the text and its theme, and is mostly material not in my book. However, to better understand thanksgiving, I’d encourage you to read The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks while you participate in this challenge. You can also download a Discussion Guide for the book.
