A life of thanksgiving is a life infused with purpose and joy.

Our lives are divine gifts—but they don't always feel like that. Life can feel like a tangle of thorns and thistles. It's often marked with sorrow, disappointment, and heartache. So, how do we embrace or follow the biblical charge to give thanks in all things?

In his honest and encouraging book, Thanks-Living, Stu Epperson invites us into the beauty and joy found in life shaped by thanksgiving. Gratitude doesn't mean denying the real grief and pain in our lives. Rather that we boldly anchor our hearts in God, in His presence and promises. We can give thanks in all things—because God is present in all things. Even in lack, we are not empty. Even when life feels uncertain, God is proven and trustworthy.
