The Way of Gratitude

Overview

"One of the best Spiritual Books out there" -- Spirituality & Practice

"Gratitude is the doorway to joy." —Thomas Hora

"The anthology is refreshingly not pious, and could be a suitable gift for any nonreligious friend who appreciates a good read. The self-identified person of faith will see in these pages the Gospel message." --Kenneth J. Zanca, in Catholic Library World

"This book will stay on my shelf for a long while. Gift yourself and say thanks to a friend at Christmas." --Frank Regan, in Spirituality

A hundred famous writers share their experiences, essays, fiction, poems, meditations, and inspired ideas on the joy of being thankful. These honest and heartfelt writings will add gladness to your days.

Contributors include Wendell Berry, J.K.Rowling, David Brooks, Joan Chittister, James Martin, Thich Nhat Hanh, Henri Nouwen, Mary Oliver, Richard Rohr, Joyce Rupp, David Steindl-Rast, Rowan Williams, and many others whose spiritual perceptions already bring joy and faith to millions.
