Writing Gratitude on My heart

Title: Writing Gratitude on My Heart

Author: Jean Fisher

Publisher: Barbour Books

Publication date: December 1, 2020

Writing Gratitude on My Heart is a 6-week devotional for women that focuses on one simple Bible memory verse per week. Each day’s devotion explores a different aspect of that week's verse, like
the context of the verse
applying scripture's teaching to your life
how God's Word affects your inner thought-life
salvation, eternity, relationships, and more. 
Equal parts challenging and encouraging, this unique book includes a 2-color interior and 6 full-color tear-out index cards, each with a weekly memory verse printed on it to be displayed as a reminder to write God’s Word on your heart—perfect for the fridge, bathroom mirror, computer monitor, or even as a bookmark. 

My Review:

Jean Fisher wrote "Writing Gratitude on my heart will help you enjoy life fully, lift your spirits, and lead you toward a more positive perspective when obstacles get in your way." While I agree with her words, I would add that this book will draw you closer to God and through self-reflection change your heart along the way. There is a lot of depth to this book, with quotes from many different people, it is obvious that a lot of work and research went into this book. It really enhances the stories that Fisher tells, to have taken the time to add these quotes. Throughout the book Fisher offers up different suggestions on how to memorize Scripture and incorporate it into your daily life. She uses humor in some of her illustrations, discusses the benefits of gratefulness and the importance of memorizing Scripture. At the end of each week, day seven is putting it all together. 

The topics covered in-depth in this book are: A grateful heart, relationships, miracles, seasons, grateful for God, our Heavenly Potter, and Grateful for God's character. Fisher does an excellent job of combining scripture verses into each of these sections, along with things that really make you think. It is not a book that you will want to rush through, it encourages you to sit and simply soak it all in.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to practice more thankfulness/gratefulness. I would also recommend purchasing as Christmas gifts to anyone you know who might be interested in a "meatier" devotional, that if done correctly, can be life-changing. What a great way to start out 2021, by reading this devotional and starting out the new year practicing the habit of writing gratitude on our hearts. I read this book on Kindle, but plan to purchase my own copy of this book, because it is one I can see doing over and over again.

Thank you to Barbour publishing and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
