Title: Choosing gratitude
Description: Many decades in a wheelchair have taught me to not segregate my Savior from the suffering he allows, as though a broken neck -- or in your case, a broken ankle, heart, or home -- merely "happens" and then God shows up after the fact to wrestle something good out of it. No, the God of the Bible is bigger than that. Much bigger. My friend Nancy Leigh explains this so beautifully in her precious new book Choosing Gratitude. And it needs explaining! It's hard to hold on to gratitude; its' hard to find joy when you're looking into the jaws of mind-bending pain or heart-wrenching disappointment. But you have quite a guide in Nancy because she is ever so careful not to separate God from the suffering he allows in your life. She makes the connection between gratitude and joy. Nancy leads you, step by step, through select scriptures and insights that are your journey into heaven-sent joy. Not a here-today-and-gone-tomorrow kind of gladness, but a deep and profound joy that simpoy cannot and will not be shaken. - Jacket flap (from the foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada).
