Gratitude is hard--it just is. Something about it feels like weakness, but it's not. Justin Douglas has done something wonderful here--he's reminded us all that gratitude is a posture--a way of being. It's worth searching for and easy to find with intention. In times of busyness and stress and performance Gratitude Devotional for Men has helped to reorient my days in the best way. --Seth Price, host of the Can I Say This at Church Podcast The New Testament teaches a profound truth that neuroscience continues to confirm: gratitude transforms us. By noticing God's ordinary gifts each day, we become more alive and more attuned to those nearest to us. Justin Douglas has written a wonderful resource that journeys alongside us to remind us--through Scripture, prayer, and meditation, joy and contentment are available every moment, as we walk with Jesus. Where we may be inclined to see lack, this Gratitude Devotional for Men orients us toward our Jesus-centered abundance! --Kurt Willems, pastor and author of Echoing Hope: How the Humanity of Jesus Redeems our Pain There are some things that are simply good for us--like exercise and a nutritious diet, and limiting how much time we spend looking at screens. Our bodies need food, sunshine, and exercise. But sometimes we forget that our souls need to be nurtured as well. This devotional is like an exercise plan for our souls, a workout that helps build spiritual muscles and create holy habits. One of the powerful things about this book is that Justin makes sure we don't use prayer as a place to hide. Each day offers an action step to make sure we are putting feet on our prayers. It's a rich book filled with humor, wisdom, and practical ideas. Sometimes we don't realize all the things we take for granted. This book reminds us of all that we have to be grateful for. --Shane Claiborne, author, activist and co-founder of Red Letter Christians
