A Gratitude Attack: Finding God’s Love Through Grief and Loss with Wendy Bauer
Description
What happens when performance Christianity stops working? Wendy Bower, author of Gratitude Attack, shares how God met her in the honesty of grief, anger, divorce, estrangement from her daughters, and breast cancer during COVID. Through Christian counseling, the Psalms, journaling, and learning to receive the Father’s love, Wendy moved from striving to intimacy and from head knowledge to heart transformation. She explains why a “gratitude attack” is not forced positivity, but gratitude that rises when we feel truly seen, loved, and held by God—and why compassion must come before telling hurting people to be grateful.
