Review of Gifts and Gratitudes: A Year of One Thousand Gifts (A Guided Journal)

Ann Voskamp offers scriptures, devotions, essays, prayers, and photography in this guided journal which asks readers to recognize, make note of, and give thanks for the many God-given gifts in their life. The journal pages allow readers to note what they are grateful for by day of the month with all 12 months listed for each day of the month. By doing this, you can easily revisit and reflect on your noted gifts from prior months. I really like this twist to ordinary gratitude lists!

The author's writing is so flowing, heartfelt, thought-provoking, and uplifting that I was sorry to reach the end of the book. My copy is heavily highlighted with phrases that resonated with me.

This is a beautiful book in every way and meant for Christians of any denomination. It would make a lovely gift for yourself or others. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

My thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishers for allowing me to read a DRC of this book via NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are strictly my own and are freely given.

This is a beautifully designed journal for a spiritual rich 90 days journal. You can find reflective prompts, devotions and spaces for personal prayer. The book encourages a daily rhythm of prayer, cultivating a life of gratitude and worship.

This book is such a blessing! It came at just the right time in my life, and it has helped me so much in many aspects of my life. A huge thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this ebook!

Ann Voskamp has a lovely way of writing and creating spaces for reflection. Gifts and Gratitudes is a unique layout for gratitude journal. With daily space for 3 items of gratitude, along with a daily reflection, the reader will reread the reflections on the same day of each month.

It's a beautiful book both in content and design.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing/ Zondervan Gift for an advanced read copy of this beautiful devotional and journal.

Ann Voskamp emphasizes the important role gratitude plays in drawing us to the heart of God and changing our daily perspective in order to focus on His goodness. I love that this devotional and journal provided practical examples of gratitude grounded in scriptural truths. Each day's reading was challenging and encouraged me to grow in a different element of gratitude.

I would highly recommend this book to those who need to cultivate the practice of gratitude in their hearts and lives!

Ann Voskamp has a wonderful way with words and this Gifts & Gratitudes guided journal was lovely. This would make a great gift for the christian woman in your life. The prompts to list 3 things a day you are grateful for are perfect for promoting a more grateful heart.. Sometimes being grateful for the blessings in your life is easier said than done, and this journal will help you regain your perspective if you find yourself focusing on the negative aspects of your life. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to others! Thank you Ann Voskamp and Netgalley for the opportunity to arc read this prayer journal.

Gifts and Gratitudes is a gratitude journal combined with a devotional, written in the true style of Ann Voskamp. It holds 31 devotionals that focus on gratitudes, while having space to track gifts every day of the year. This is a wonderful idea, a different way of tracking gifts. What I think, though, is that I would have left out the photos of Ann Voskamp and her children as it’s a little weird to have those photos in a journal.

Sometimes just being grateful for God, what He has done and is doing for us makes a huge difference in our lives. This is a very insightful prayer book.

I received an advanced reader’s copy from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. Opinions are my own.

Ann Voskamp’s writing truly speaks to my heart—Her depth really resonates with me! The Gift and Gratitudes book was a joy to read, and it taught me so much about the significance of gratitude, whether it's for the big things or the little ones. It made me rethink my mindset; I can find a thousand things to be thankful for.

The scripture references throughout the book was wonderful, adding a spiritual depth that made the message even more powerful. The beautiful photography, combined with the space to write down personal reflections of thankfulness, made the experience both enriching and meaningful.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for a free advanced copy of this ebook to review. All opinions are my own.

I love the way that this journal is laid out. In Gifts and Gratitudes, Ann Voskamp takes each day of the month to teach us about different types of God’s grace. It was truly eye opening to me. I think taking the time to list out things you’re grateful for every day can really help with shifts in perspective.

Beautiful book! I loved the aesthetics, the writing, and the space to add your own content. Ann Voskamp has a way of infusing grace and simplicity in all that she shares. This collection is meant to help you live out and capture your own experiences with recognizing and recording your own awareness of the gifts in your life. It truly is a journal written by you, with meaningful prompts woven throughout to guide you. Even if you have never read the book that inspired this. One Thousand Gifts, you can appreciate and utilize the journal. Each day of the year is an opportunity to recognize the good things in your life. The way that the chapters are broken out though are very helpful. There is a “chapter” for every day of the month that begins with a reflection and includes a verse and short prayer. There is space for you to write three gifts on that particular day. At the end of the year, you will have the privilege of looking back at all the gifts in your life.

Great devotional! Great gift! Ann’s writing is poetic and meaningful. Her practice of gratitude has changed my life, and this book is a nice way to keep that message at the forefront of my mind.

Such a lovely devotional focusing on gratitude, with space to write three things you are grateful for daily. I found that my faith strengthened and my stress levels lessened as I read, leading to both joy and a sense of being incredibly blessed by God. Highly recommended!

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

“And when you name the gifts in your life, you are blessing the very name of God himself”!

This is a wonderful devotion and journaling tool to guide a Christian through the gifts and grace in their life and the grace and gratitude those gifts bring. This book is filled with corresponding scripture and journaling sections as well.

Definitely would recommend this author.

This will make a wonderful gift for someone close to you. Ann knows the benefits of a daily gratitude practice and shares a step-by-step guide in this new book. It is beautiful and well thought out. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I plan to gift my best friend one once it comes out in October.
