The Living Church
Uncommon Gratitude: Allelluia for All That Is comes from the Archbishop of Canterbury who maintains the proper stance in the Christian world is one of gratitude. This surveys things to be grateful for--and reflects on how singing `alleluia' opens the door to other realities and truths. A fine inspirational reflection any Christian collection will welcome.The Midwest Book Review
In her examination of darkness, death, the future, and God, Chittister keeps her heart open and her eyes on the prize of gratitude which enables us to bear all things and still lift our souls in praise of the Creator.Spirituality & Practice
In Uncommon Gratitude two fascinating story-tellers tackle head-on the question, `What is life all about?' From the 2004 Tsunami to the Seven Deadly Sins, and from world-shaking events to daily haps and mishaps. When, how, and why can we shout `Alleluia!'-become Alleluia-in the midst of it all, in spite of it all? Before I put this page-turner down, I had wept and smiled and shouted `Alleluia!' in my heart in deep gratitude for this uncommon book. Book circles and study groups will find it particularly useful.Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB
