Whether it's a walk in the park, a quiet conversation with a friend, or observing the graceful flight of a butterfly, such ordinary occurrences can become extraordinary when we learn how to fully embrace them. The book challenges us to shift our perspective and start finding contentment in the present rather than constantly chasing the next big thing.

The Power of Gratitude and Mindfulness

"The Great Good Thing" also emphasizes the importance of gratitude and mindfulness in our daily lives. Through heartfelt anecdotes and thought-provoking insights, McWriterson demonstrates how cultivating gratitude can transform our overall well-being and enhance our relationships. He urges readers to take a moment each day to express gratitude for the mundane, recognizing that even the simplest aspects of life contribute to our happiness and personal growth.

Additionally, the book encourages mindfulness as a powerful tool for living in the present moment. McWriterson explores various practices such as meditation and self-reflection, guiding readers towards a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. By being fully present and attentive, we can uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary and experience life's true richness.

Embracing Imperfections and Overcoming Challenges

Life is full of imperfections and challenges, and "The Great Good Thing" acknowledges this reality. McWriterson shares personal stories of his own struggles and how he learned to find strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Through these tales of triumph and growth, readers are encouraged to embrace their own imperfections and view challenges as opportunities for personal transformation.

The book reveals that it is in our most difficult moments that we often find the greatest good. By accepting our flaws and learning from our mistakes, we can unlock our true potential and lead a more fulfilling life.

"The Great Good Thing" is not just a book; it's an invitation to change your perspective and discover the hidden treasures in your everyday existence. Its inspiring messages resonate deeply, reminding us to slow down, be present, and find joy in the ordinary. So, grab a copy of this remarkable book, sit back, and prepare to embark on a journey that will transform the way you see the world.

Remember, life's greatest treasures often lie within the simplest moments. Don't let them pass you by.

No one was more surprised than Andrew Klavan when, at the age of fifty, he found himself about to be baptized. The Great Good Thing tells the soul-searching story of a man born into an age of disbelief who had to abandon everything he thought he knew in order to find his way to the truth.

Best known for his hard-boiled, white-knuckle thrillers and for the movies made from them--among them True Crime and Don’t Say a Word--bestselling author and Edgar Award-winner Klavan was born in a suburban Jewish enclave outside New York City.

He left the faith of his childhood behind to live most of his life as an agnostic until he found himself mulling over the hard questions that so many other believers have asked:

  • How can I be certain in my faith?
  • What's the truth, and how can I know it's the truth?
  • How can you think, live, and make choices and judgments day by day if you don't know for sure?

In The Great Good Thing, Klavan shares that his troubled childhood caused him to live inside the stories in his head and grow up to become an alienated young writer whose disconnection and rage devolved into depression and suicidal breakdown.

In those years, Klavan fought to ignore the insistent call of God, a call glimpsed in a childhood Christmas at the home of a beloved babysitter, in a transcendent moment at his daughter's birth, and in a snippet of a baseball game broadcast that moved him from the brink of suicide. But more than anything, the call of God existed in stories--the stories Klavan loved to read and the stories he loved to write.

Join Klavan as he discovers the meaning of belief, the importance of asking tough questions, and the power of sharing your story.
