    About this ebook

    It is hard to be grateful when you are looking into the jaws of mind-bending pain. Chronic illness, a heart attack, a terrible car accident, caring for a developmentally disabled child, facing betrayal and loneliness. These tough times make you want to give up and throw in the towel. You try to overcome, but the exhaustion destroys your energy and hope. You try to pray, but the pain interrupts your concentration. You want to give up.
    Let Joni tell you her secrets to peace and joy, despite her wheelchair. She has spent decades studying the Word of God. She knows that God does not enjoy seeing your suffering. He has compassion for you and gives you many ways to deal with life’s pain so that you can have peace.
    She has taken her most important insights on thankfulness and joy and encapsulated them into this 14-page ebook. Whether you or a loved one is suffering. This ebook will bring you comfort.
    In A Thankful Heart in a World of Hurt, author Joni Eareckson Tada tackles questions such as:
    •How can I really give thanks for all things?
    •How can I cultivate a grateful spirit?
    •What was the Apostle Paul’s secret to a grateful heart? (He had been beaten, stoned, whipped, starved, shipwrecked and betrayed by people he thought were friends.)
    •How is it possible to “Rejoice in the Lord always”?

    This colorful ebook gives God’s answers to the biggest questions.
    You need this if —
    •you are in pain and need encouragement,
    •you have a friend who needs words of comfort,
    •you are a pastor or church counselor, or
    •you lead a discussion group or home fellowship.
