How grateful are we? Can we live a grateful life in an age of rampant entitlement? To resist the lure of social media comparisons and see through those carefully curated posts and pictures?
In the Grateful study guide, Elizabeth McQuoid takes us through the Scriptures and shows how gratitude is a heart attitude which every Christian needs to cultivate and the key to consistent daily discipleship and mission involvement.
These seven Bible studies feature prayers, questions and leaders' notes as well as ideas for going further. Drawing on the theme for Keswick 2022 and acting as a companion volume to Peter Maiden's Radical Gratitude, Grateful shows that it is possible to be thankful for God's salvation, gifts and love no matter what our circumstances.
Part of the Keswick Study Guide series, Grateful is ideal for using either individually or in small groups, including both stories and personal application to help you make the most of its studies in every day life. The leaders' notes also make it perfect for the busy homegroup leader. Practical and insightful, Grateful is a brilliant resource for anyone wanting to understand Biblical teaching on gratitude better or wanting to know how we can being practice being grateful whatever might come our way.
