I love this little book. I want to buy copies for everyone I know now. Unfortunately, I also have Christmas bills and insurance and propane and lots of other things to pay for this month. But if I could I would buy copies for everyone.

From Thanks:

"A lot of us religious types go around saying thank you to God when we find a good parking space, or locate the house keys or the wandering phone, or finally get a good night's sleep. And while that may be annoying to the people around us, it's important because if we are lucky, gratitude becomes a habit."

"Gratitude begins in our hearts and then dovetails into behavior. It almost always makes you willing to be of service, which is where the joy resides."

From Wow:

"Poetry is the official palace language of Wow."

And from Amen (this is actually a quote from C.S. Lewis that Anne has in her book because she knows a good thing when she reads it):

"I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me."
