Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Gratitude
Cornelius Plantinga · 2024
82/100
👍 Worth It
Plantinga does something a lot of gratitude books don't bother with — he actually argues for why thankfulness needs a real, personal God on the other end of it, not a vague 'universe.' It earned an Outreach 2025 Resource of the Year nod and a substantive review from the Englewood Review of Books, and it takes positive psychology seriously without caving to it.
