Summary: "Mary K. Mohler desempaca las Escrituras para ayudarnos a crecer en gratitud espiritual (agradeciendo a Dios por quién es Él) así como en gratitud natural (agradeciéndole por sus bendiciones) --e identificar y lidiar con algunas de las cosas que nos obstaculizan-- para ayudarnos a redescubrir la alegría de un corazón agradecido.Truly biblical gratitude is much more than "counting our blessings".

Honoring this communal spirit, [this book] is a timeless collection of both classic and contemporary poetry and short prose that can be of help in difficult times-- selections that offer wisdom and purpose, and that allow us to step out of our current moment to gain a new perspective on the world around us as well as the world within."-- "In our tumultuous cultural and political climate, many Americans are finding hope and meaning in poetry and inspirational quotes, as noted by numerous media outlets such as The Atlantic, The Guardian, and NPR, and as evidenced by the frequent posting ofpoetry online. Like many of us, the editors at Spiegel & Grau were inspired by the shared poems, and put together this collection of poems and words for difficult times. Contributors include Maya Angelou ("Still I Rise"), W.H. Auden, Danez Smith, Naomi Shihab Nye, Maggie Smith, Alice Walker, Langston Hughes, Elizabeth Alexander, and many others. This is an uplifting volume that will be read for years to come by anyone facing challenging circumstances"--
