Reviews

' This book, while rooted in a theological conception of gratitude, relates it helpfully to two other current discourses: the recent psychological/philosophical discourse on gratitude and the recent discourse on professionalism, professional practice, and professional virtues. This is a worthwhile enterprise, cleverly executed by the author. A thought-provoking and inspiring book. - Kristjan Kristjansson, Professor of Character Education and Virtue Ethics, Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, University of Birmingham, UK 'Kenneth Wilson stresses the personally ameliorative character of gratitude: the emotion's ability to transform us by a happy self-transcendence and by binding giver and receiver in a benevolent relationship. He astutely finds the Christian theological framework, with its message of a gracious, compassionate, and forgiving Creator at the ground of our being, to be an extraordinarily fitting foundation for living a life of gratitude.' - Robert Roberts, Baylor University, USA
