GRATEFUL The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks

Diana Bass narrates her own work on gratitude. Her patience and passion reflect her understanding that this traditional practice will be hard to teach to a new generation ensconced in the social media age of disagreeing with others with take-no-prisoners criticism. Though she teaches from her perspective of Christianity, she strives to relate to all of humanity, offering numerous other religious and nonreligious recommendations for showing gratitude. Her articulation and pace permit one to listen closely while also thinking about how to put the principles advocated into practice immediately. More sociological than theological, this work is a much needed corrective to our current relationship conflicts. T.D. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
