An "attitude of gratitude" can make a world of difference—even in the midst of life's worst tragedies. In A Thankful Heart: How Gratitude Brings Hope and Healing to Our Lives, Carole Lewis, national director of the First Place 4 Health weight-loss program, shares a personal testimony of thankfulness despite the tragic death of her daughter, killed by a drunk driver on Thanksgiving Day 2001. So many people are stuck in the pain of their problems, unable to see beyond the hurt in their lives. Giving thanks in such circumstances may seem impossible, but thankfulness is a powerful tool God uses to heal wounded hearts and transform "stuck" people. Readers will also hear real life stories from others like them who have discovered the power of thankfulness to change both their inward attitude and their outward situation. Plus, this warm, inspiring book contains a Thankfulness Journal to guide readers into a new perspective and record the healing process as it unfolds.
