Ann Voskamp is Jan 2011. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
Ann Voskamp longs to live her one life to the fullest, just as you do. Put an end to the wish lists that transport us to far-off places and unusual experiences. Ann pondered: How can we find happiness while faced with everyday responsibilities, debt, stress, and deadlines? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long and sometimes even dark? How is God present at all?
Ann urges you to enjoy the little benefits in life and start a life-changing spiritual practice of writing down God's gifts in One Thousand Gifts. We can only find the life we've always desired—a life we can accept, be grateful for, and shatter for others—by expressing our thankfulness for the life we currently have. 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 experience the ultimate daring!
