• With every passing week, you'll start cultivating a log of things you are grateful for, giving Jesus control over your worries and pains-understanding that you are His child and He always has a plan for you.
• Towards the end of 52-Weeks, you would have started on the path of achieving self-awareness and spiritual growth whereby stress, anxiety, depression, and all negative thoughts which seemed unsurmountable, would cease to exist.

Gratitude is one practice that wins out from positive psychology, helping people sleep better, lower stress, and improve interpersonal relationships.

Review Quotes

"Depression and anxiety are such tough issues, yet so common, making this book extremely relatable. Eileen used the same format as previous devotionals I've read from the company: Bible verse, explanation, reflection, and prayer, though I don't remember there being a journal question in the others. I think it's a nice touch, and definitely useful in application! I especially loved week 2, Choose Joy! I think if you truly study and try to put that devotional into practice, it can be powerful! There are so many wonderful blessings around. Being able to recognize them is one in and of itself! Week 7, God Will Provide Hope, seemed like a very powerful one for depression as well. All the devotionals were focused on fostering a deeper relationship with Jesus, and they were awesome! " - Juliana Mae (Amazon)

"As someone who is chronically, this book has been extremely helpful. I feel like mental health is extremely underrated and untreated due to people not wanting to be labeled as a mentally ill person. This book has helped me learn to take a step back and breathe and read and reread as necessary. I have never been one to read scriptures but in the context of my real life the ones in this book were very relevant. Even just to wake up and think about the day. Sometimes, and I'm ashamed to even say this now, I wish I wouldn't wake up. Neuropathy and chronic pain make the depression a real struggle. It's not easy but I try to just remind myself of what I was so blessed to learn in this book. I hate taking psychiatric medication after spending years on them and it's hard to admit needing them. It's always helpful to have another way to cope with these issues." - Amanda F. (Amazon)

" This book is an eloquent, spiritual and carefully considered written approach to gratitude for depression and anxiety, and journaling. With guided weekly tasks to write, think or discuss, and passages from the Bible to guide your thoughts, it has been very helpful in focusing my practice of gratitude. Each Bible passage used is fully explained in a friendly and easy to interpret way. The weekly questions are phrased in an accessible way which encourages thoughtful and spiritual responses from the reader. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a spiritual format for gratitude." - Travel Girl 11 (Amazon)

"This is the second book I have read by Eileen Nyberg, I must say she hit the mark with this one. I highly recommend, The Gratitude Journal: Depression and Anxiety Relief, for any woman dealing with depression and anxiety. Eileen gives the reader understanding and guidance throughout this 52 week journal. In each entry, Eileen shares a scripture, an explanation of this scripture, then has the reader reflect on the topic while offering advice. She reminds us of our inner strength and the strength we find in God. There is not anything we cannot get through, even in our most difficult times. I love how Eileen has journaling exercises for each entry. This takes the experience a step further. Not only do you learn the validity of your feelings, you are able to focus your perspective on the positive healing thoughts and prayers you share with God. This is a beautiful and well thought book for the Christian woman." - Melissa (Amazon)
