What if you discovered that the life you already have is the life you've always wanted? What if joy and gratefulness is possible right where you are??New York Times?bestselling author Ann Voskamp invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative journey of thankfulness and chronicling God's gifts. How can you find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and even the death of loved ones? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long, and sometimes even dark? How is God even here? β€œIt is in the dark that God is passing by . . . our lives shake not because God has abandoned but the exact opposite. God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can’t see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...” In One Thousand Gifts , Ann Voskamp invites you to discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. It's only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God. As Ann invites you into her own beautiful, heart-aching moments of amazing grace, she gently teaches you how to: Biblically lament loss and turn pain into poetry Intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude Slow down and catch God in the moment Not a book merely to read, One Thousand Gifts is an invitation to engage with truths that will serve up the depths of God’s joy and transform your life forever. Leave pride, fear, and control behind, and abandon yourself to the God who overflows your cup. Review: Most Moving Book I've Ever Read - The most incredible, most AMAZING and easily the best, most soul-shattering book I have ever read. Seriously, I keep a stack of my favorite books on my nightstand so I can regularly open to them when I am in need of a good nugget of truth, hope, joy... The Shack tops the stack with The Kite Runner underneath it. Then The Atonement Child, by Francine Rivers. I just sandwiched One Thousand Gifts in between The Shack and The Kite Runner. All of those books impacted me in an incredibly positive way, changing my life somehow. One Thousand Gifts was such a blessing to read (a gift in itself!) and I have to share why. I started reading on April 5, posting a comment on Facebook that said, "One chapter in to One Thousand Gifts by Voskamp and I am hooked. What magnetic honesty!" She hooked me in the first chapter with her beautifully moving style of writing and the words she chose to explain the scars of her past. I scribbled in the margin on the fourth page "I love her questions," as she asks, "where hides this joy of the Lord, this God who fills the earth with good things, and how do I fully live when life is full of hurt? How do I wake up to joy and grace and beauty and all that is the fullest life when I must stay numb to losses and crushed dreams and all that empties me out?" So many times we are AFRAID to ask God those questions, to give life to the darkness that threatens to take us over. In FOUR PAGES OF WRITING, this woman had penetrated my soul by baring hers. I quickly realized this wasn't just any book, and I wasn't exactly prepared to be a spectator of the journey she goes on in accepting the challenge of a friend to thank the Lord for one thousand blessings in her life. I didn't realize that she would be breaking down walls for me and inviting me to join her in counting a thousand blessings. But as I kept reading, her words continued to ring true and strike chords in my heart: "Only the Word is the answer to rightly reading the world, because The Word has nail-scarred hands that cup our face close, wipe away the tears running down, has eyes to look deep into our brimming ache, and whisper "I know. I KNOW." "I won't shield God from my anguish..I can cry..and He embraces the David-hearts who pound hard on His heart with their grief and I can moan deep that He did this..And I can hear Him soothe soft, "Are your ways My ways?..Can you eat My manna, sustain on My mystery? Can you believe that I tenderly, tirelessly work all for the best good of the whole world- because My flame of love for you can never, ever be quenched?" "Perhaps the opposite of faith is not doubt. Perhaps the opposite of faith is fear. To lack faith perhaps isn't as much an intellectual disbelief in the existence of God as fear and distrust that there is a good God. If I don't emotionally believe, practically believe, in the goodness of God, am I a believer? Don't the believers have to believe? Don't the saved have to trust the Savior?" "Joy is a flame that glimmers only in the palm of the open and humble hand..Humbly let go. let go of trying to do, let go of trying to control. Let go of my own way, let go of my own fears. Let God blow His wind, His trials, oxygen for joy's fire. Leave the hand open and be. Be at peace. Bend the knee and be small and let God give what God chooses to give because He only gives love and whisper surprised thanks." I mark up all my books. Much like my Bible, if I am reading and something strikes me, I will underline it so I can find it again, or simply use the space in the margins to write out everything that I'm thinking. I've always done that, and it's the reason why I hate to borrow books from people, because I can't get into a borrowed book the way I can one that I own and have the freedom to mark all over. THIS BOOK is completely marked up. All over! I have underlined, circled, written in the margins, used the space at the end of each chapter as my own personal diary... I have definitely left my mark on my copy. In turn, Ann Voskamp has left her mark on me. I am deeply grateful to her for writing this masterpiece. I love to write, but I could never, ever touch what she's done here. Just by sharing her story and looking deeply enough into it to see where God was and what He was up to, she carves a path for the rest of us to do the same. I encourage everyone to pick up a copy of this book and give it a shot. I plan to start giving them away as gifts for every occasion! Additionally, you should take the 1000 Gift challenge. I started mine when I was halfway through the book, and made it to 25 things in about five minutes. Here are a few from my list: 1) snores awakening me to another day 5) the more I bear my soul, my true self, the more accepted I am and the closer we are 6) the dials all turned exactly right to support life on this planet: air to breathe, sun to warm, firm ground to walk on, food to nourish, water to quench 9) the crisp binding of a never-before-opened book 10) the smell of a many-times-opened old book with yellowed pages 13) being known and understood 14) my husband on his way home to me 19) the fact that God does not leave us in our mess but comes down, gets in our face and SHOWS US THE WAY OUT! 21) the time to count blessings I don't sit down and make myself add to my list at any certain part of the day. I keep it on my nightstand, next to my stack of books, and when I think of something I write it down. Sometimes I write down one or two things, sometimes I will write twenty. It is an neat exercise, and I pray that it helps me make counting my blessings a habit instead of an every-now-and-then kind of thing. I pray that it changes my life the same way it changed Ann's and so many others who have read One Thousand Gifts! Get your copy today!!! Review: Changed my life. - If you have somehow gotten to my review in the midst of hundreds of others, then you already know that this is a book on gratitude, about how gratitude changed the author and can change us, too. It did me. I have an aversion to trendy things (which I realize is weird) and I had avoided this book for a long time simply because it was so popular, but when I finally read it for the first time (that was a little over a year ago, and I am currently reading it for the third time), I think every chapter except one had me laid out on the floor weeping. Actually, they still inspire me to tears. I am a different person today than I was before I read this book. Reading it stimulates my mind, and practicing gratitude as a daily ritual has changed my life (meaning, given me new perspective, erased my need to ruminate over some very real pain, planted seeds of trust toward God in me, and released me from Fear's ownership). I love how the concept is so simple. (I am a busy mother of young children and can find moments to name things to be grateful for.) I love how she explores a simple concept with great depth. (I am a busy mother of young children and can find sanity in deep thoughts on gratitude and trust in a God who transfigures.) :-) The writing is definitely beautiful (the lady is a poet), but this book is also jam packed with insight from people who really inspire me - like Tim Keller, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Henri Nouwen, Amy Carmichael, Mark Buchanan, Mother Teresa, St. Augustine, A.W. Tozer, John Piper, and on and on. I found it theologically rich, foundation-wise. That said, I wouldn't call it a theological treatise. It is probably way more effective and enjoyable for a poet at heart than a get-to-the-point thinker. She starts each chapter with the beginnings of a thought and then carefully takes the reader into the depths of the thought process with her as she explores and discovers and chews on the thought and her explorations and discoveries and how all of those things intertwine. If that would drive you nuts, don't buy the book. :-) Trust. Grace. Sovereignty. Seeing. This was, to me, a beautiful invitation to live life with hands figuratively opened to God, receiving each moment with gratitude, starting with the easy and simple things that I often miss and continuing with the habit when things are difficult, because God is good, and He is a God who transfigures. ## Features - One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,957 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #106 in Christian Inspirational #129 in Christian Personal Growth #273 in Christian Spiritual Growth (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,111 Reviews | ## Images ![One Thousand Gifts Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PF6Mi+zNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most Moving Book I've Ever Read *by J***3 on April 29, 2013* The most incredible, most AMAZING and easily the best, most soul-shattering book I have ever read.

This just may be the best and most beautifully written book I've ever read (excluding, obviously the Bible). It is so beautiful that I wish I could memorize the whole thing like a Psalm....I hate to let any of it go...I hate ending one sentence and going on to the next because I don't want the poetry of her words to end. It may be best suited to the poetic soul of a woman, but it so excellent that it can't fail to have universal appeal. The author comes from a place of tragedy and loss which left her hating her life...and one day has a revelation, brought on by a nightmare,that leads her to pursue what it means to live a full life;one that is ready to face God without heartbreak at the end of it. She explores the topics of suffering, loss and the Sovereignty of God, and then works her way to Gratitude, Grace and joy. (all three of which are contained in the roots of the Greek word Eucharisteo which is the word used when Jesus gave thanks for the broken bread.) The book talks about how to live the Eucharist. The writer is uses numerous quotations from many sources of religious literature and her conclusions and approach would have appeal and relevance to anyone of any faith... As a person who has suffered deeply and greatly in my life, I can affirm personally the truth of the conclusions arrived at by Ms. Voskamp. There is no fluffy, trite theology here...It is blood and guts reality discussed in a manner which allows you to see the Beauty in the Ugliness of Life. And shining through it all is the face of a beautiful, loving, and sovereign God. The book, while not difficult to read, contains many deep, inexhaustible truths all encapsulated in sentences so consummately elegant that you wish there were frames to put phrases in and hang them on a wall to admire. Instead you can merely repeat them over and over tasting them on the tastebuds of your heart and savor their exquisite flavor. I would be wondering why and how it is that this book and I have not met sooner--as it seems to be so very much 'down my alley'...but I know that God reserved it, like a special gift, for just this very moment of my life. The book does not require much of a time commitment because it is so jam - packed with God and beauty that you can only tolerate it in one or two page chunks...or your soul would explode. I cannot (obviously) recommend it highly enough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1551041-one-thousand-gifts-book](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1551041-one-thousand-gifts-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
