Press Reviews
I pray that this book will lead to a practical, measurable revolution of thankfulness. George Verwer, founder and former Director of Operation Mobilization
With profound sincerity and simplicity, this inspirational book teaches us the vital importance of a grateful heart. Replacing the proud self-sufficiency and grumbling anxiety of our age, we discover the secret of quiet trust and joyful contentment. Through moving personal testimony and lively Biblical examples, Peter points us to a way of life which rejoices in God’s fatherly care, trusts his sovereign control and daily enjoys his gracious provision. A hugely refreshing, encouraging and life-changing read! - Jonathan Lamb, Minister at Large for Keswick Ministries and author of Essentially One
In an age where whining has become a pandemic, where entitlement sits cheek by jowl with incessant dubious claims of victimization, Peter Maiden provides us with an alternative -- a profoundly biblical alternative. In twelve short chapters he not only exhorts his readers to thankfulness, but fleshes out a plethora of reasons we should be grateful, and paints pictures of the glory of gratitude -- a gospel duty and privilege, and a mark of faith
Gratitude is a choice - we cannot control our circumstances. But we can control our responses. Through personal testimony and a faithful engagement with Scripture, Peter Maiden helps us to cultivate a deep-seated delight in God’s grace, which leads to a heart overflowing with gratitude. Amidst all the vagaries of life we can still affirm that it is well with our souls. The book is inspiring and moving, as well as being radically counter-cultural. Read it and be blessed.
Drawing from deep personal experiences and biblical truths, Peter shares his life and ministry journey that have shaped him to be who he is today!
Radical Gratitude is a timely reminder of the need for a thankful heart in all circumstances. It is intimate, challenging and inspiring – an authentic reflection of the author, his faith and his service to our Sovereign God.
A wonderful, inspiring book! It addresses a topic that we desperately need in our anxious age of entitlement: gratitude is the hallmark of the Christian life because it helps us understand that God’s grace is an extravagant, undeserved gift from our loving God.
Peter Maiden excels in showing us how to develop contentment and gratitude, while still being honest about our struggles and weaknesses. His wisdom, experience and biblical insight flow through every page. Read this book and share it!
Peter Maiden traces the theme of thanksgiving in Scripture, and shows how we can genuinely live counter-cultural lives even in an age of rampant entitlement. With a pastoral heart, he explains how gratitude is the key to joyful, consistent Christian living, discipleship and mission involvement. He focuses on:
· how we can develop the habit of thanksgiving
· the benefits of gratitude
· how we can be grateful, even in hard times
Each chapter unpacks biblical truth and grounds it with practical application and personal illustrations. A series of short Bible study questions and reflections (mostly on the Psalms) conclude the chapters.
As he was writing this book, poignantly and to his great shock, the author learned that he was suffering from incurable cancer. Far from derailing his message, this unwelcome news energised his efforts as he poured out his vision on the page with his now-limited resources. This is authenticity at its best. This book will be the author's last.
