GRATITUDE for EVERYTHING

John Castagnini and Amanda Kroetsch have made it their mission to compile some of the most challenging issues we face in experiencing gratitude into a book series that will heal and open hearts around the globe by sharing one simple message: "Our greatest lessons come in the form of our greatest challenges!"

For about a decade John Castagnini has been sharing his services in the area of personal development through heart opening workshops, seminars, and consults around the world. Having consulted and assisted many different people dealing with many different issues, one concept became apparent to John; The "victim" is not past the "tragedy" until he/she is able to say "Thank God" for it.

As God would have it, John ended up consulting with many women who had experienced rape and assisted them one by one in becoming grateful and watched them with tears of gratitude in their eyes say: "Thank God I Was Raped." John knew deeply that the underlying concept of GRATITUDE for EVERYTHING that one experiences is the greatest wisdom and skill one can learn. At that point John decided to collect the inspiring stories from these incredible women and write the Book, Thank God I Was Raped.

Concurrently, Amanda Kroetsch had experienced the healing power of Gratitude in her own life and was to the surprise of many able to pronounce with great certainty "Thank God My Mom is an Alcoholic/Addict!" With inspiration she began creating a book centered around discovering and sharing the benefits of "dysfunctional families."

At that point, as God would have it, Amanda learned of John's Thank God I Was Raped book, and decided they had to meet. As a result, the inspiring and heart opening Thank God I…book series of Gratitude was born.
