Brazos Press, 2024
By Cornelius Plantinga
WHO: Cornelius Plantinga, senior research fellow at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and president emeritus of Calvin Theological Seminary.
HE SAYS: “If I am grateful for something, how do I take proper care of it?”
THE BIG IDEA: Gratitude is not only our righteous duty but also the single best predictor of our own well-being
THE PROGRESSION: In 10 chapters the author explores the idea of gratitude, from what blocks gratitude, how to get gratitude, why we should thank God, and what happens to us when we are grateful.
“‘Strive first for the kingdom of God.’ If we Christians accept Jesus’ commission, we will never run out of good things to do.”
