Summary
More than 1.5 million copies sold! What if you discovered that the life you already have is the life you’ve always wanted? What if joy is possible right where you are? New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative journey of chronicling God's gifts.

How can you find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and even the death of loved ones? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long, and sometimes even dark? How is God even here?

“It is in the dark that God is passing by . . . our lives shake not because God has abandoned but the exact opposite. God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can’t see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...”

In One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp invites you to 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 deep and lasting joy. It's only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God.

As Ann invites you into her own beautiful, heart-aching moments of amazing grace, she gently teaches you how to:


- Biblically lament loss and turn pain into poetry
- Intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude
- Slow down and catch God in the moment

Not a book merely to read, One Thousand Gifts is an invitation to engage with truths that will serve up the depths of God’s joy and transform your life forever. Leave pride, fear, and control behind, and abandon yourself to the God who overflows your cup.

I cannot imagine having to listen to or read this book ever a game. The voice of the reader was so agitating that my entire Bible class had to shut it off. The writing was horrific using every agitative ever provided to a new author. I would give it zero stars but that's not an option on this rating

Anne Voskamp's writing style is very poetic; it took me a few chapters to get used to it and come to appreciate it, but then I was hooked. I've listened to it several times since. What a wonderful, deep, and encouraging book!

I love Ann Voskamp's heart to see all as grace from God. Her poetic style and passion to live fully in the goodness of God has changed my life. I love that this book is read by Ann herself! Her book and ministry continue to minister God's grace and truth to me in profound ways. Thank you, Ann, for sharing your life and heart with us!! Giving thanks to God in everything has brought so much joy to my life!
