Ann Voskamp
Details
Drawing heartbreaking beauty out of the simplest of details, Ann Voskamp invites you into her grace-bathed life of farming, parenting, and writing---and deeper still into your own life. Here you will discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings you deep and lasting joy.
Just like you, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well. Forget the bucket lists that have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences. “How,” Ann wondered, “do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long—and sometimes even dark? How is God even here?”
In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It’s only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have that we discover the life we've always wanted … a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved — by God.
Let Ann's beautiful, heart-aching stories of the everyday give you a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of being present to God that makes you deeply happy, and a way of living that is finally fully alive. Come live the best dare of all!

Write your own review- deep truths by tam on 3/23/12

Rating Ann writes in transparency and honesty, sharing her difficulties and triumphs. Sometimes, I could only read a few pages at a time, there was so much "meat" to digest, healing to assimilate. Truly an anointed book for those wanting a deeper walk with the living Christ.

Rating This book is annointed by the Lord. It truly caused my husband and I to pause and think, and then to start counting the gifts. We read it as a devotional, and there were days when we read only a few sentences and we had to stop, because there was so much to receive from the Holy Spirit as we read. I am on my second time through it and am receiving so much more. I bought ten copies to give away to my dearest friends. Don't pass this book up.

Rating If you're down in the dumps, or just wondering where your life in Christ is going lately, this is the book for you. I picked up this book last May, and finished it in two days. I couldn't put it down. Now, I am drawn daily to list my own list of my One Thousand Gifts. Thank you Sister Ann for being so honest, and sharing your hard lessons. We are all benefiting from God's WIsdom through you. I have given the book to everyone I can, and am still buying more. I cried and laughed. it's incredibly fresh and honest. it's what we all need to be reminded of. Fran Smith, Chattanooga, TN
