One of the reasons I wrote The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks was to speak into the misconception that gratitude is seasonal. Many Christians see giving thanks as a bonus discipline to practice during November and they neglect it the rest of the year. But the whole of Scripture encourages and exhorts believers to cultivate it in all things. Every day. In all seasons. In all circumstances. Whatever mood you might be in.

So even though it’s Spring, now is a great time to focus on cultivating gratitude to God for who He is and all He’s done. Moody Publishers has a 50% off sale on all their books, which includes The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks.

I”m excited to announce the release of my new book, The Grumbler’s Guide to Giving Thanks: Reclaiming the Gifts of a Lost Spiritual Discipline. My aim is to help the reader see how pervasive thanksgiving is in the Bible and how practical it is for the Christian life. It’s an everyday rhythm. On a daily basis, our heart gravitates toward either grumbling or gratitude. Each brings with it a host of friends. Grumbling invites pride, fear, anxiety, discontentment, and idolatry. Gratitude is accompanied by joy, worship, contentment, trust, and intimacy with God. Choose to give thanks rather than grumble.

As we give thanks, we not only enjoy God’s gifts to us and care for us, but we better know Him. Thanksgiving, then, is meant to lead us from gifts to the Giver. Even in trials, we practice “gritty gratitude” to trust God and thank Him for how He’s at work.
