The Grumble-Free Year: Twelve Months, Eleven Family Members, and One Impossible Goal (Review)
My Review
"Everything doesn’t need to be fixed overnight, but set your mind to work on solutions instead of struggles." I think we can all agree on one thing, it's no fun to be around grumbling people. We all grumble and make our self miserable and feel guilty for doing so. Tricia's book takes you through a year of her family's attempts to grumble
less and praise him more.
Very encouraging and fulfilling this is just what we all need to start us on the right track to have a more spiritually fulfilling life. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter are great for
conversation with your family.
The author shares what works and what didn't work for her
family on her journey. I am once again reminded of what I am grateful for
even the little things we take for granted in life, like
the last clean pair of socks in the drawer or the beautiful Fall leaves
on the trees in the view from my window. Thank you, God! This book is a true blessing to me! Expected publication: November 5th 2019 by Thomas Nelson . I was given a complimentary copy. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
GoodReads Summary
USA Today bestselling author Tricia Goyer and her family of eleven embark on a yearlong quest to eliminate grumbling from their home and discover a healthier, more thankful approach to life together. The Goyer home--with two parents, eight kids, and one eighty-eight-year-old grandmother with dementia--is never without noise, mess, activity, and, often, complaining. And it's not just the kids grumbling. After adding seven children in less than six years through adoption, the Goyer family decided to move out of survival-mode and into unity- and growth-mode. They decided to tackle the impossible: a grumble-free year. With grade-schoolers, teenagers, and a grandmother who believes children should be seen and not heard, plenty of room exists for flunking the challenge. Add to that seven children being homeschooled together in close quarters, and what could possibly go awry? In The Grumble-Free Year, the Goyers invite readers into their journey as they go complaint-free and discover what it looks like to develop hearts of gratitude. They share their plans, successes, failures, and all the lessons they learn along the way, offering real-life action steps based in scripture so that readers get not just a front-row seat to the action but also an opportunity to take the challenge themselves and uncover hearts that are truly thankful.
