Bøger af Ann Voskamp

Et Tusinde GaverAt leve fuldt ud lige der hvor du erForfatteren Ann Voskamp er landmandskone, mor til 6 børn – som hun giver hjemmeundervisning - og forfatter.Hun deler sit hjerte med os i denne utrolig smukke bog om at se skønheden i de mange små oplevelser - hver dag. Gennem bogen følger vi Ann og hendes familie i deres, til tider, slidsomme liv. Forfatteren viser os, hvordan hun lærer at sætte pris på de mange velsignelser i løbet af dagen, og hendes hjerte glæder sig over stort og småt. Det er på denne måde, hun finder ud af at leve fuldt ud, der hvor hun er i livet. Hun ser Guds storhed i det små og vokser med den erkendelse både menneskeligt og åndeligt. Oplevelsen af Guds nærvær er jo det, der bringer os denne dybe og vedvarende glæde. Ann Voskamp har som barn været igennem nogle traumatiske oplevelser, der kaster lange skygger ind i voksenlivet. I en periode, hvor hun syntes livet var hårdt og træls, blev hun udfordret af en veninde til at skrive alle de små ting ned, der var gode eller smukke i hverdagen. Det gør hun så, først lidt modvilligt, men hen over tid bliver det til en form for guddommelig observation. Ligesom Ann Voskamp ønsker vi vel også at leve vores liv med 100 % nærvær. Vi kan glemme ønskelisten over eksotiske og fjerne steder, der får os til at flygte fra hverdagens trivialiteter. ”Hvordan” undrer Ann sig ”finder vi glæden midt i deadlines, ubetalte regninger, drama og daglige gøremål? Hvordan ser Kristus-livet virkeligt ud, når dine dage er fuld af gnidninger, lange og sommetider mørke? Hvordan finder vi Gud også der?” I ”Et Tusinde Gaver” opfordres vi til at omfavne hver dags velsignelse og gå om bord i den forvandling, der sker, når vi vænner os til at nedskrive Guds gaver til os. Ann siger videre, at ”det er kun ved at give udtryk for taknemlighed over det liv, vi har, at vi opdager det liv, vi altid har ønsket os….et liv vi kan gribe, sige tak for og dele ud til andre”. Vi vil opdage det ’umulige’ lige ind i vores knogler: at vi er vildt elsket af Gud.

Using her own personal story of adopting a Chinese daughter and sponsoring a refugee family, New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp shows in The Way Maker how God will always make a way, not to where we may want to go, but to Him.
