REVIEWS
"The importance of gratitude for our mental and emotional well-being has been emphasized by science for decades now. But no research study can match the power of a memorable story. Froyen's moving personal stories do more than illuminate the mind, they touch the heart – gratitude's necessary home."
— George Simon, Ph.D. Psychologist, Author of the international bestseller, In Sheep’s Clothing
“Guided by gratitude, the storyline of your life will turn toward more adventure and a better, more fulfilling ending. You’ll be grateful you read this book.”
— Brian D. McLaren, author, speaker, activist (brianmclaren.net)
“For almost twenty years, my life has been touched by Deacon Len Froyen. He is a teacher who skillfully respects the individuality of the persons he is challenging to appreciate truth and beauty. He is a master craftsman of the English language who delicately distills words into meaningful narrative. In this book, he applies his gifts, describing gratitude as an attitude that elevates our common experiences into life transforming moments of virtue and grace. Immersing yourself in the various chapters, you will be rewarded with the rediscovery of greater meaning and purpose in your life.”
— Most Rev. Jerome Hanus, O.S.B. Archbishop Emeritus of Dubuque
