Gratitude Why Giving Thanks Is the Key to Our Well-Being Cornelius Plantinga
Award-winning author Neal Plantinga shows that gratitude is not only our righ- teous duty but also the single best predictor of our own well-being, encompass- ing joy, generosity, contentment, better relationships, and improved health.
“Plantinga compellingly blends science and Scripture in shedding new light on ‘the greatest of the virtues.’ He sensitively argues that gratefulness is a deep and abiding sense that goodness dwells under the rancor and heartache of daily life.” —ROBERT EMMONS, editor in chief, The Journal of Positive Psychology “A treasure of pastoral wisdom. Readers will be grateful for the gift of this book and the way it teaches us a grateful way of life.” — REBECCA KONYNDYK DeYOUNG, Calvin University; author of Glittering Vices
Cornelius (Neal) Plantinga (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is senior research fellow at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and president emer- itus of Calvin Theological Seminary.

Fully Alive Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times Elizabeth Oldfield
Scholar and popular podcaster Elizabeth Oldfield shows why, in a world stripped of forgiveness and responsibility but heavy on judgment, she still finds the con - cept of sin liberating—and how, to her surprise, she keeps finding the Christian faith a source of spiritual strength when things fall apart. “The bridge between faith and contemporary experience constantly needs to be rebuilt as times change. So here it is, then: the bridge for the present moment, across which seekers for more meaning in their lives can travel in the knowledge that they won’t be bullied, browbeaten, or talked down to.” — FRANCIS SPUFFORD, author of Unapologetic and Light Perpetual Elizabeth Oldfield is a guest lecturer at the University of Birmingham and hosts The Sacred podcast. She has a regular column for UnHerd and has appeared on BBC One and in CNN, The Guardian , and beyond. She is also a contributing editor at Comment magazine and senior fellow at Theos.
