Young people today face an uncertain world filled with serious threats. In such a climate, gratitude can feel difficult. Yet for over 350 years, The General Thanksgiving has providing a framework for gratitude even in the hardest times. Giving Thanks reintroduces this prayer to the contemporary church.
For the first time in generations, young people today are growing up poorer than those before them, facing an uncertain world filled with serious threats. In such a climate, gratitude can feel difficult. Yet for over 350 years, a powerful resource has helped believers frame their thanksgiving: The General Thanksgiving from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. This theological masterpiece has guided generations in expressing profound truths in an accessible way, providing a framework for gratitude even in the hardest times.
Giving Thanks seeks to reintroduce this prayer to the contemporary church. With deep attention to its original meaning, it explores the spiritual truths embedded in the prayer and reveals how thanksgiving is not about ignoring reality, but responding to God’s goodness – past, present, and future. Far from being a burdensome duty, a life of gratitude is a whole-life response to who God is and what God has done.
This is an invitation to rediscover The General Thanksgiving and integrate its wisdom into daily Christian living.
