Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
How Can I See the Light When It's So Dark?
Linda Douty · 2007
64/100
👎 Skip It
Douty is a credentialed spiritual director with a track record in adult formation, and her combination of scriptural and psychological perspectives on gratitude is a reasonable approach. The dossier just doesn't provide enough evidence of reach or impact to push this above average — limited coverage, narrow readership, and no standout features that distinguish it from a full shelf of similar titles.
