In this beautiful and moving book, bestselling author Tim DeRoche makes the case that human beings are hardwired to worship. 

Drawing from evolutionary psychology, he argues that we cannot help but experience life as a gift.  And, whether we admit it or not, our biological instincts leave us yearning for a right relationship with the unseen giver.

What makes us human?  It is the instinct to give and receive gifts from one another.  DeRoche shows how thinkers throughout history have obsessed over issues of reciprocity and social obligation: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, the anthropologist Marcel Mauss, the Freudian psychologist Ernest Becker, and so many more.  And these themes echo through the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, which can be read as an extended meditation on what it means to be indebted to God for life itself.

The Grateful Beast offers a new take on the plight of modern man, urging us to acknowledge the full mystery of life and to accept the weight of infinite gratitude.

Fun little gadget we never knew we needed.

Who knew keeping our bags and purses could be so easy. Easy to clean once it does it's "job". Doesn't take up much room and works like a charm

Mixed Results - Sauberkugel Clean Ball Review
Color: Bag Petrol
I purchased the Sauberkugel Clean Ball in Teal to help keep my bags clean from dust, dirt, and crumbs, and while it had some positive aspects, I can only give it a moderate 3-star rating due to a few shortcomings. On the plus side, the concept of the sticky inside ball is ingenious and showed promise. It did manage to pick up some dust and small particles (including glitter) from my purse which was a relief. The teal color is cute and made it easier to spot in a bag. However, there were some limitations that affected its overall effectiveness. *It seemed to struggle with picking up certain types of debris, particularly larger crumbs, heavier dirt, and ever some larger glitter/confetti pieces. This inconsistency was a bit disappointing as I had hoped based on the ads for it to be much more effective. *Another major issue I encountered was the difficulty of opening and cleaning the ball. The design was supposed to make it relatively easy to open and clean (as the ads lead me to believe). However I was unable to get the ball unlatched - which made it quite challenging to clean fully. It was frustrating to wrestle with the ball and being unable open to clean it out fully. In summary, while the Sauberkugel Clean Ball had its merits and did manage to capture some unwanted particles, it fell short in terms of consistency and ease of use. The struggle to open and clean the ball was a significant drawback for me.

Great item, totally worth it.
Color: Black
I've used this for over a year now in my nice work purse to keep those tiny dirt particles from who-knows-where (you know the ones I mean!) from mysteriously getting in the bottom of of it. It rolls around easily in its plastic case either naturally (without getting goopy or leaky) or rolled by hand. Handiest thing I've ever bought to help keep my purse clean!

Simple and Effective Remote Organization
Color: Black, Size: Small
The Pros: Spacious Design: With five deep pockets, there is plenty of room to store everything from TV and soundbar remotes to reading glasses. Functional and Steady: It sits perfectly on a side table without tipping over. It does exactly what I hoped it would do by keeping all our remotes in one spot. Great Portability: It is lightweight enough to move around easily, which is helpful for keeping things organized while we are on the move. Clean Finish: The material looks professional and blends in well with the furniture without looking like a cheap plastic holder. The Cons: Pocket Depth: One thing to keep in mind is that the pockets are fairly deep. If you have very small remotes, they can slide down a bit far, making them slightly trickier to grab quickly. Bottom Line: This is a straightforward, no-fuss solution if you are tired of losing remotes in the couch cushions. It is well-made, looks good, and simply works. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to declutter their living space.
