If someone came up to you and said "Yadah" or "Zamar" you might think you'd met someone from a distant galaxy - but you'd really be hearing two important words about expressing yourself in praise to God.
This book will teach you about these words and so much more. You will find out what praise really is and get to know the wonderful, amazing, faithful God who deserves our praise every day.
There are 'Praise projects' to get stuck into and some awesome stories from the Bible to make you jump up like Jehoshaphat and sing "Give thanks to the Lord, for his love never fails!"

I've been able to see a pre-release copy of this text. It's incredible. There are many published resources in self development texts and business development resources (such as HBR and the Gallop organization) that link higher levels of productivity and happiness to being "thankful" and actively living that out. This should come as no surprise to those of us who understand living in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord. This book delivers a masterfully crafted avenue to introduce to our children, grandchildren, and the children in our life we influence to the beauty and deliberateness of living in praise.
