Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Kristen Kallen-Keck (2024 Moody Publishers audiobook edition)
71/100
👍 Worth It
DeMoss Wolgemuth makes a solid, biblically grounded case that gratitude is a choice you make on purpose, not a mood you wait for, and she doesn't shy away from applying it to real suffering. It's dependable, well-produced evangelical nonfiction from an established, trusted voice, even if the ground will feel familiar if you've read other Christian gratitude titles. Kristen Kallen-Keck narrates the 2024 Moody edition — a professional, worth-the-listen production.
