Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth & Joni Eareckson Tada · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Kristen Kallen-Keck
76/100
👍 Worth It
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth builds a genuinely faith-grounded case for thankfulness even in hard seasons, and having Joni Eareckson Tada's voice woven in gives the 'joy amid suffering' angle real weight rather than platitudes. It's adapted from a radio series so it can feel a bit episodic, but the narration is professionally produced and easy to settle into.
