One way or another, we will respond to the challenges our society faces, but how we respond will define who we become. In a world often marked by division, resentment, and unrest, what if the most radical and restorative response is … gratitude? Gratitude, rooted in the gospel, offers a powerful lens for healing broken relationships, rebuilding communities, and reimagining life itself.

On Monday, November 24, at Redeemer West Side, we invite you to more than just a book launch. This is a call to explore that transformative choice. Join us in welcoming author Girma Bishaw, who will share insights from his journey, from life as an Ethiopian refugee to becoming a voice for gratitude as a catalyst for personal and social renewal.

This promises to be an inspiring evening of teaching, discussion, music, and fellowship. Dr. Bishaw’s new book, The Gratitude Way: Creating Common Ground in a Divided World, will be available for purchase as well. We hope to see you then.
