Giving Thanks

Frost nips, leaves fall and cooler weather conspires to bring us closer together. For this reason, the waning of the year is the traditional time to celebrate our everyday bounty with friends and family. The following titles are sure to get you in the thankful spirit of the season.

   Help, Thanks, Wow         The Magic         365 Thank Yous

Lamott has coalesced everything she knows about prayer into three simple fundamentals. Asking for assistance from a higher power, appreciating what we have that is good, and feeling awe at the world around us: these things can get us through the day and can show us the way forward.

Step by step, day by day, secret teachings, revelations, and scientific law are brought together to form 28 simple practices that open the reader's eyes to a new world, and lead them to a dream life.

365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life.
