Giving Thanks: Rediscovering the Heart of Gratitude by Philip Plyming

Following Philip’s inspiring visit, we’re excited to explore his book, Giving Thanks: Rediscovering the Heart of Gratitude, together as part of The Toolbox.

In a world where gratitude can sometimes feel difficult, Giving Thanks revisits The General Thanksgiving from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and explores how this historic prayer can still shape our faith today.

Philip shows that thanksgiving is not about ignoring life’s difficulties, but about responding to God’s goodness, faithfulness and grace. Gratitude becomes a whole-life response to who God is and all that he has done.

Martin Dunkley will lead the group. We’ll read three chapters each week and connect through a WhatsApp group to share insights, discuss what we’re learning and encourage one another along the way.

The Autobiography of Madam Guyon by Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte.

We will look particularly at people who tucked themselves away with God while remaining deeply engaged with their communities. Interestingly, and often as an unexpected outcome, they flowed in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. If this is an area you are interested in developing, you may want to join this group. We will meet monthly for six months, starting with ‘The Autobiography of Madam Guyon’ by Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte.
