Gratitude

Louise Hay · 1996
58/100
👎 Skip It

This anthology has staying power — nearly three decades in print with recognizable names like Wayne Dyer and Doreen Virtue contributing. But it's rooted in New Age and metaphysical wellness rather than traditional faith, worth knowing going in, and as a multi-author collection the quality naturally varies piece to piece.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: New Age/metaphysical framing — not traditional faith-based content, distinct from an orthodox or denominational perspective. We still scored it 58; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
