Grateful - Bible Study Book: Giving Thanks to God in All Things

by Lifeway Women

The Bible shows us that becoming a grateful person begins with acknowledging how the One who owes us nothing has given us everything. This 4-session study will help you develop a thankful heart that can be cultivated into a continual harvest of gratitude, regardless of the circumstances.
 
Each week you'll look at a profile of someone in the Bible with a grateful heart, find teaching from Scripture on gratefulness, focus on a psalm of thanksgiving, and be encouraged to practice gratitude. When you’re able to see the biblical basis of living with a grateful heart, you will be more motivated to thank God in all things.

I picked up this study to have gratitude really be a focal point in my October/thanksgiving season.
Every Lifeway Women study I have done, I have enjoyed.
I always learn something new, and have a chance to dig in deeper. Looking forward to going through more of these study books!

This one just wasn't for me. As usual, my group had great group discussion, but doing the reading during the week was a slog. As with most of the generic Lifeway studies, the homework was on the lighter side, thankfully, so it didn't take long to work through.

However, as someone who's not Baptist, constant questions about my testimony were annoying, plus there was such a fundamentalist us vs. them bent when referring to those who aren't Christian, that I spent more time scrawling notes in the margin about what I disagreed with in the study than I did actually answering the questions.

If fundamental Baptist is your thing, then you won't have a problem, but if you're more of a mainline Protestant, you'll be as frustrated as I was.

This study started out as a 4 star for week one and then went downhill from there. After the first week, the daily studies were disjointed and did not necessarily support the week’s topic well. There was a lot of repetitive questions in the last three weeks. It was easy to tell that there were many authors that did not likely work together to make this a cohesive study.
Overall, this study did not dig very deep and really just scratched the surface of gratefulness. It is a shirt 4 week study and the daily studies were overall short.

This was our summer women's Bible study at my church. It was probably my least favorite I've done -- disjointed with all the different authors and many questions weren't that meaningful to me. BUT, God did use this theme in my life during an unexpected, hard season to choose gratitude in the midst of suffering.

In a time in my life when I was having difficulty being grateful for much and focusing on the negatives, I was looking for a book/study to get me back on track in my relationship with God. I can see this being a helpful tool for others in similar spots in their lives.

I loved the daily questions that made me think about how to be grateful and why. Great little study.

Very enjoyable study and exercise. This added quality to my daily devotion.

The concept was really good. And I loved all the Bible passages that relate to gratefulness. A bit redundant and clunky. Maybe because it was written by 14 different authors?

Definitely helps you deepen your gratitude everyday with daily devotionals on this 4 week study.

This was a really good Bible study that was super encouraging to do in the month of November leading up to Thanksgiving.
