More about the book
The book explores the evolution of community-based days of prayer and thanksgiving in North America, tracing their roots from early colonial times to the present. It highlights how these occasions, once marked by deep reflection on life's blessings and challenges, have transformed into modern celebrations often centered around food and football. The narrative critiques the loss of the original spirit of gratitude and contemplation, suggesting that only remnants of this meaningful tradition remain in contemporary practices.
