Be The Gift by Ann Voskamp


Beautiful words and beautiful photos make up this truly beautiful book, Be The Gift by Ann Voskamp.

Be The Gift includes Voskamp's best selections from her best selling book, The Broken Way. These selections of heart touching prose reveal how our lives can become gifts to others when we let God take our brokenness and turn it into gifts of grace. Voskamp says in the introduction, "Maybe the only abundant way forward--is always to give ourselves forward? To be broken and brave who know that when the stakes are the highest, kindness matters the most. To believe that the bad brokenness of the world is met by the good brokenness of Christ's humble sacrifice for us." Many of us do have hearts that are sad and broken, but Voskamp suggests we take that sadness and give our broken heart away so we can begin to heal.

If I could put Be The Gift into everyone's hands in this country and have them read it, I would. If we could all just take ourselves and pour ourselves into being kind to others, imagine the kind of world we could become. This beautiful book also includes a list of 60 days of Give-It-Forward ideas and space to journal your experiences as you do your own intentional acts of kindness. There are even free gift tags included with the book in the paper back cover overwrap that you can use to enhance the gifts you give. I especially like how well the gift tags are packaged so that they are safe and there is no need to cut into the lovely book. This is just one of the most nicely-presented gift books that I have seen. I can't recommend Be The Gift enough.
