Selections from One Thousand Gifts: Finding Joy in What Really Matters

Positive mindset breeds positive outcome! I had this book but gave it to someone some time ago but decided I needed another copy to give to another friend who struggles with depression. The author has been in the same shoes and she conquered her depression, or should I say the hold Satan had on her mind, by daily looking for blessings, things to he thankful for.. thus the title "One Thousand Gifts". It's a great book and there's a few different versions of it. This one is more of a coffee table book, but there are study books.

I bought a used book that said it was in good condition and it was! It was in almost new condition and very well loved!

I arrived home to find this amazing book waiting for me outside my front door. Selections from One Thousand Gifts really points to the one Gift that lasts forever, the Giver of All gifts, Jesus Christ. This little book is big inside with powerful words and photography that moves the heart. Imagine discovering the secrets in life that help you make it through trials and find grace even in the darkest moments. Ann discovers the secret when she writes "Sometimes you don't know when you're taking the first step through a door until you're already inside." She began a gift list: "Not of gifts I want but of gifts I already have." This book comes with a challenge to all who dare grab it and open the pages to find joy in what really matters. Once you begin, you'll never be the same.Catherine MartinQuiet Time Ministries

Loved this book, and pictures that reflect the devotions

one thousand gifts is visually appealing; all the photographs are lovely and uplifting. i love the author's message that god is in the details, that beauty and encouragement can be found in the most ordinary and that when we focus on the positive, the negative diminishes it's power to rob of us simple pleasure and joy. the blessings, the gifts are always there; we just need to see them. the friend i sent the book to says that just looking through the pictures makes her feel better when she needs a lift. i also own the book [not the gift version and it's had a huge impact on my life].

I loved the book One Thousand Gifts. This is a somewhat shortened version with lots of photos of some of the gifts. I love it. I have read the original book four times and am on my fifth reading... each time I read more slowly and meditate on the words. She is a poet and a visionary for our times. I also would love to live a life like she does. This book is visual spiritual dessert... to be savored. It is a great gift book... but then you have to follow it up with the original book... and the journal ... and the flip calendar !!!

I thought I was ordering the original book by Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. Somehow I managed to order this shorter book with selections from the original. Since it was to be a gift, I had to go to our local bookstore and buy the proper book. I feel that the ad I ordered from wasn't clear enough, but it could have been my mistake.

This book is unlike any other - and even if you, like myself, felt the original book canceled out all its great, unique qualities by its infamous final chapter, this book gleans THE best thoughts from the book, coupled with Ann's phenomenal photos. I have given countless copies of this book away and it never fails to elicit a positive response, sometimes even "life-changing."

Bought this as a gift as a follow up to the original 'One Thousand Gifts'. Some beautiful excerpts from the book and some added extras as well, accompanied with such beautiful photographs, all set to inspire and provoke your thoughts and contemplation. It is great to dip in and out of for some positive encouragement. Definitely recommend this to Voskamp fans and those that have not been blessed by her work yet.

This is a great author and have got so much out of her books and devotionals and she is awesome. a must read.

This is a good very book with beautiful pictures & a message on each page.I would recommend this book to others.

Totally enjoying the book
