MAITLAND, FL— John M.
Lidonnice’s new book, ThanksLiving ($16.99,
paperback, 9781498492751; $8.99; eBook, 9781498492768) shows readers that God’s will for us includes the
pursuit of a life of gratefulness, which is preceded by one accepting the free
gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ’s death at Calvary. By leveraging the
spiritual growth tool of the built-in gratitude journal, the reader will embark
on a journey of thanksgiving that will become a part of everyday living and
will glorify God in the process. ThanksLiving
strongly emphasizes the importance of living the grateful life by providing
dozens of quotes, Bible verses and devotionals, personal reflections and
stories; and a 365-day gratitude journal to assist the reader in developing an
attitude of gratitude and transforming the way he or she lives and thinks.
Lidonnice
writes, “We live in a discontent, self-absorbed, entitlement-driven society.
These qualities are not part of God’s plan for anyone’s life. God desires that
we accept His free gift of salvation, then live humble, content, thankful
lives, focused on serving and loving Him and others. ThanksLiving, with its inclusion of a year-long gratitude journal,
essentially allows the reader to become a co-author of the book. Along with the
special devotional section, the reader is provided with unique, spiritual
growth tools to develop a grateful heart to the point of being thankful for all
things: good or bad; big or small.”
The
main credential that John M. Lidonnice brings to the writing of this book is
the 19+ years of disciplined, daily gratitude journaling experience. After
practicing this habit over 7,000 times, he has come to realize that
communicating the emotion of gratitude to God leads to the destination of a
deeper, more intimate relationship with Him, resulting in a tradition that he
is intensely committed to for the rest of his life. Additionally, his research
on the topic has concluded that blessing, prayer and humility play key roles in
the journey of gratitude journaling as well as in one’s spiritual growth.
