Review

"In her well-designednonfiction debut, Addo-Atuah stresses the vital roles of gratitude andobedience in the lives of her fellow devout Christians...... the work's powerfullyworded calls to humility will resonate with Christians who are sometimesdiscouraged by a self-centered world. A passionate and readable account thatsupports humility and gratitude as paths to God." -Kirkus Reviews
The Power of Thanksgiving by Dr. Joyce Addo-Atuah shows how in today's world of materialism and the need for instant gratification, we can lose sight of the importance of being grateful for the 'little' things in life. This comprehensive look into the significance of living a life of gratitude will open your eyes to the benefits, not only spiritually but also psychologically and physically. Using passages from the scriptures and personal experiences, the author delves deep into the value of serving God and paying it forward to your loved ones, community, and the world. By understanding the importance of serving God, who is the epitome of goodness and kindness, you will realize the treasures he gives you on a daily basis that are free of charge. Explore how we can show our gratitude in times of adversity, or to those who seem cruel and unjust. Learn how to develop your skills at showing gratitude by recognizing and appreciating the gifts you receive and in turn enhance your well-being completely.
This beautifully written book will truly change your mindset on the power and importance of gratitude. I thought the way the author used not only scriptures but science, especially noting the work of Dr. Emmons, was so insightful. Emmons' ARC Model of Gratitude proves the need for all of us to live a daily life of gratitude, and the huge benefits in doing so. We are shown how we can totally transform the substance of our lives by simply changing our mindset and our view of the world. The statistics regarding the benefits of being truly grateful, and giving to others with a clear motive of selflessness, were particularly inspiring. I am glad the author included scientific evidence and not just excerpts from the scriptures as I feel this gave real weight to her beliefs. This would make an excellent gift to anyone who would like to improve their lives on every level. A book to treasure and refer to in times of self-doubt or hardship.....Readers' Favorite

Dr. Joyce Addo-Atuah is a board member of the Pentecost Biblical Seminary of the Church of Pentecost U.S.A. Inc. and a professor at the Touro College of Pharmacy in New York City. People who have known her for a long time have often asked her for her "secret" in staying "forever young" and she had always replied she didn’t have any such secrets. This response was totally true until she learned about the work of researchers who have established the connection between a lifestyle of gratitude and benefits such as a positive outlook on life, greater productivity, good health, generosity, and longevity.

Suddenly, a light bulb lit up within her-she is a living proof of the power and benefits of a lifestyle of gratitude and thanksgiving!!

Having discovered this scientific evidence and armed with the scriptural basis of thanksgiving and its benefits, and confirmed by her own personal lived experiences, Joyce is on a mission to generously share these physical, mental, relational, and spiritual benefits of thanksgiving and gratitude with the world.

Her work in “The Power of Thanksgiving: A Blueprint for Contentment, Fulfillment, and Well-Being through Gratitude” has been recognized in the Christian and broader communities as:

 A WINNER in the National Indie Excellence Awards

 A FINALIST in the Book Excellence Awards

 A FINALIST in Christian Inspirational in the International Book Awards

 A BRONZE MEDAL WINNER in Christian Non-Fiction in the Global Ebook Awards

 A HENRY AWARD WINNER in Testimonials in the Christian Literary Awards

Joyce is a passionate educator, speaker, motivator, and storyteller. She has spoken and taught on several professional as well as Christian platforms. She is eternally grateful to God for her close-knit family.

A Must Have and Must Read Book!
This book, the Power of Thanksgiving is a must have and must read book for all Christians. The author really enlightened me on the need to be thankful to God at all times, whilst admonishing that we should essentially live a life of gratitude each day.I like how the author provided both personal and biblical examples of the power in giving thanks to make her readers know that indeed there is power in thanksgiving. To quote a portion of her book “As for the actual phrase “thank you,” please do not count too much on receiving it. Even if a “thank you” is given at all, try not to read too much into the facial expression of the sender because you will find that the look may in no way match with the true meaning of gratitude…The look may go more with thoughts like, “you should have done that long ago” or “what are you doing here anyway?” - Exactly what came to mind as I was reading this book! Very well said!If we are thankful to God for His benevolence towards us, then we in turn can do good to others without expecting anything in return. I highly recommended this book to all people from all walks of life.

THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING A Blueprint for Contentment, Fulfillment, and Well-Being through Gratitude is a 93-page thriller. Once you start reading you can not stop until you finish reading it. The book is well laid out and makes for easy reading. It provides life examples and experiences as well as a practical guidance on how to develop a habit of showing appreciation to God and other people through whom God blesses us. It supports the guidance and life examples with scientific theory where relevant. The anecdotes cited in the book provide specific circumstances and help in providing concrete examples of the “Power of Thanksgiving”. The anecdotes supported by bible quotations and selected hymns really brings to focus the reality of the importance to be thankful and not take anything for granted. For lovers of hymns this book will satisfy your souls. It is worth reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thought provoking, why and how-to guide for thanksgiving and gratitude

Dr. Joyce Addo-Atuah's, The Power of Thanksgiving: A Blueprint for Contentment, Fulfillment, and Well-Being through Gratitude, is everything the title implies and more. Personally, I would never would have looked upon the concept of gratitude in the many ways that she describes. I am now awe struck at the meaning and depth that gratitude entails. This book will not only remind you of your many blessings but, also shows you the complexities of gratitude and the impact it has on your life and others.

Our author reaches into the scriptures, academic studies, personal life stories and science to show us why we should develop a life filled with gratitude. She shows us how we can develop such a life and demonstrates the manifold benefits that will come to us. Here I am at the age of 69 and never would have figured that I did not really understand what gratitude is all about. I am thrilled to know that I have been right. Or I should say correct all these years in knowing that there is so much more involved than a cursory thank you for a gift or a big turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Still, I never would have looked at the deeper spiritual aspects of gratitude to God and those who give to us. We've all heard so much about reciprocity and "paying it forward." I am reminded, and chided a bit, for not remembering to do the little things that show gratefulness toward others. I suspect we all are often remiss in this.

I also would not have thought about gratitude, the positivity of it, and the health benefits that she addresses. I am so thankful for this book. I learned so much and was reminded of many of those old lessons from grandmothers in times past. I thank Dr. Addo-Atuah for this wonderful guide and appreciate her calls to action to all of us to begin living the life of gratitude with actions in addition to our words. I recommend this book to everyone.

This book is a must read. Many people take thanksgiving for granted. The author in her book with her many testimonies reminds us not to take even the minutest things that happen in our lives for granted. Most often we forget to thank our parents and even our friends for an act of kindness they did for us. We often take them for granted because we assume that it is their responsibility anyway. In the same way we take God's thanksgiving for granted because we are quick to think that it is our own hard work and wisdom that has brought us this far. I am sincerely thankful to the author because she has indeed opened my eyes on certain things that I took for granted. I have learned from this book to be thankful to my children, husband, boss, co-workers and anybody that contributes to my life.
This book is also easy and very exciting to read especially with the interjection of the hymns and the author's personal testimony. You will not want to put it down when you start.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important book!

It is always curious to me how throughout my career I have so often learned so much from immigrants. Immigrants always seem to see things that those of of who haven’t experienced some of the same degree of hardships do see.
In talking to my daughter tonight we were discussing all the anger there is in so many. I think a lot of it’s from unfulfilled expectations and not being thankful for what they do have. This makes this book so important as it brings in examples from everywhere from old philosophers to the Bible to modern investment gurus. Showing that success comes from Thanksgiving. Something we need so much more of in this over stimulated culture we live in! As it’s days from Thanksgiving in the US it is a great time for me to read it as we can all afford to give God more Thanksgiving for all we have in this amazing word! Fabulous book, a must read and sure to make your life fuller!

Dr. Joyce Addo-Atuah in this book dissects the definition of gratitude to its most basic form to remind humankind of the urgency to express and celebrate Thanksgiving and show gratitude. Dr. Addo-Atuah accomplishes the great feat of researching and writing about the power of Thanksgiving by interspersing it with experiential living testimonies as she and her family have lived through the goodness of God. The book is well organized, the testimonies inspiring and the hymns uplifting.

Dr. Addo-Atuah whets the reader's appetite to discover more and more of this power as the reader journey's through the book.This book is certainly a must-read and it will not be surprising if there is a sequel to this book.
Good job Dr. Joyce Addo-Atuah for birthing such a prolific challenging book to remind us not to forget to give thanks daily.

The combination of anecdotal life experiences, passages from the bible, hymns and referencing from other literature really helped with understanding the importance of thanksgiving to God. The suggestions of using postcards and paying forward help those of us with a more relaxed approach to praise and worship find non-formal ways to show our gratitude to God.

Thank you to Joyce Addo-Atuah for writing this uplifting and inspirational book on the power of thanksgiving and gratitude. I found this book is a treasure trove of the spiritual, psychological, physical and social benefits that practising thanksgiving and gratitude has in our lives.
There are many personal testimonies that Joyce shares which provides a great balance to the scientific evidence of the benefits of thanksgiving and gratitude.
Towards the end of the book, Joyce gives us a 4 step process of the journey of gratitude which gives a clear and practical guide to implementing this in our lives.
I loved the liberal use of Scriptures and the urging to take time to pause to reflect and be thankful for all that we are and all that we have been given by our good God.
I would recommend this book to men and women from teenagers onwards. It is truly a blessing!
