In the Book thanks! Emmons gives an excellent christian theology components on Christianity true acknowledgement on roots central ideas the perspective ultimate . Minister John Baillie gave a Lecture at Gifford in 1961, Baillie got the idea that gratitude, not only the main foundation among Christians, but is the central roots of faith for many years during the modern time writing. Emmons understands that God is a giver of all gifts and the greatest sentiment of gratitude for all human beings on earth, God love never fails(97). Furthermore, I love what Robert Emmons quoted from John Wesley, who is the founder of Methodism and grasp a vast knowledge of theologies of gratitude, John Wesley, stated, “True religion is right tempers toward God

    Gary Anderson Charity Summary

    Gary Anderson’s book Charity: The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition sets out an argument that almsgiving is a religious offering to God throughout the Jewish and Christian traditions and texts. He makes the statement that early Christians and Jews focused on almsgiving as revealing the character of God and created world. Anderson sets up almsgiving as a sacrament, where giving to the poor becomes a way to access the kingdom of heaven. This action has such power because through showing mercy to another, one meets Christ, a view which is often repeated throughout early Christianity. Through almsgiving, people have the opportunity to imitate and share in God’s divine mercy.…

    Analysis Of One Thousand Gifts Reconsidered By Micha Boyett

    The article “One Thousand Gifts, Reconsidered,” by Micha Boyett, relates to One Thousand Gifts because Boyett talks about why it is a popular book. Boyett says, “And I learned why this book, despite it’s improper grammar, is so popular: Mothers love this book because we have forgotten how to connect with God” (Boyett). Boyett explains that the book has become popular for Christian woman because it reminds them how to connect with God. One Thousand Gifts talks about gratefulness a lot and how it can be a person’s salvation. Boyett states, “One Thousand Gifts is changing my life, not because gratitude is the key to salvation, but because gratefulness brings me into God's presence every time” (Boyett).…

    Third, it is a natural response to give God a portion as an act of worship reflecting gratitude. Cain gave, Abel gave, Abraham gave, and Jacob gave. Those are only the examples from first book of the Bible. Not to mention many others throughout scripture. The final building block is that God is pleased to receive according to what he has entrusted back to him.…

    Good To Great In God's Eyes Book Summary

    Good To Great In God’s Eyes, by Chip Ingram is an extremely good book with a tremendous amount of challenges and different perspectives on the bible and just life in general. When I first came across this title on the list of books that was given to us, I thought that this book was going to be geared more to leadership. I am not saying that the bible has nothing to do with leadership or that Ingram did not talk about leadership at all, but that was not the main topic of this novel. This novel spoke to me and challenges me where I am today.…

    Religious Hypocrisy In Voltaire's Candide

    The protestant further symbolizes a hypocritical religious figure, in the way that he preaches about charity but lacks the ability to help Candide or attempt to convert him to Christianity, as the bible suggests. Additionally, this chapter attempts to illustrate the misconception that all Christians are charitable and good natured. Modern American society reflects this concept, for it is commonly assumed that Christians are of a higher standard in the country than atheists or those who worship other religions. Although the Holy Bible does suggest that Christians live a charitable, devoting way of life, this does not conclude that others lack this ability. As Candide concludes, “the fruits of the earth are of common heritage” (Voltaire, 113), meaning that all humans are created equally and are just as capable of being selfish as they are of being generous, regardless of religious…

    Fundamental Techniques In Handling People, By Andrew Carnegie

    Part One: Part one of this book teaches us the fundamental techniques in handling people, and the first of these techniques is that we shouldn't criticize or condemn others. Carnegie shows through various examples that instead of criticizing people we should first try to understand them and understand why they behave as they do. The next principle of part one is to give honest and sincere appreciation. It builds off of the first principle because instead of criticizing people you should appreciate them and ultimately they will be successful. Also you should lean more towards honest sincere compliments instead of meaningless flattery because eventually people will see through your flattery.…

By getting more pleasure out of life, becoming more engaged in what you’re doing, and finding ways to make your life more meaningful, Wells explains these actions can greatly influence your happiness levels.

    When I started appreciating my senior pastor; (Olu Johnson) that ordained me, who was a very young man by then, my life changed completely, and my miracle came very fast. I cannot tell how much I am inspired when they call me Ambassador, the name the Holy Spirit gave to me. In summary, lack of appreciation kills one’s zeal and weakens his/her ability to give out the best. Learn to appreciate your husband, wife, your children, your pastor, your employees, and all those that are around you, young or…
