Reviews
"""""How can North Americans be greedy when they are #SoBlessed? DeJong gives us a magnificent theological and philosophical tour of gratitude in this important new book, and how the posture and practice of gratitude serve as an inoculant for the poisons of modern moral life, a 'solvent for distorted and destructive desires.' Recovering the joy of gratitude, DeJong argues that the virtue of gratitude can transform our worst vices into virtues, nowhere more miraculously than in the church and in its sacrament of the Eucharist."""" --Robert Joustra, Associate Professor of Politics & International Studies, Redeemer University College """"This wise and insightful book, with its impressive multi-disciplinary exploration, has taught me many new lessons about the idea of gratitude. But reading it also made me experience gratitude, for the marvelous way that William DeJong shows how informed scholarship can inform a profound engagement in pastoral ministry."""" --Richard Mouw, President Emeritus, Fuller Theological Seminary"
