The Gratitude Factor
Enhancing Your Life Through Grateful Living
Description:... Neither an exposition of scholarly research nor a feel-good self-help book, The Gratitude Factor is a groundbreaking guide to gratitude that helps readers to reflect on the role of gratitude in their lives and to cultivate this virtue for their own benefit. The first author to offer a critique of gratitude and an explanation of various types of gratitude, Charles Shelton uses his skills as a clinical psychologist to present insights into the human experience of gratitude based on his own research. The exercises, strategies, and reflection questions threaded throughout the book give it a unique practical dimension that facilitates the reader's growth in gratitude. Shelton's highly original reflection on Jesus as a grateful person lends a valuable spiritual dimension to his work. The Gratitude Factor will benefit individual readers as well as serve as a resource for spiritual direction workshops, spiritual formation and religious education courses, or ministry formation programs. +
