Editorial Review:
Now in paperback, A Grateful Heart is a tool to help readers reclaim and enrich the tradition of pausing before the evening meal to give thanks. Drawing from a range of religious and cultural practices, these 365 blessings celebrate friendship, love, peace, reconciliation, the body, nature, joy, and appreciation of the moment. This illustrated feast for the mind includes quotations from Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh, Gandhi, Rumi, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Denise Levertov, the Bible, and the Tao Te Ching.
A Grateful Heart: Daily Blessings for the Evening Meal from Buddha to the Beatles Reviews:
Nice variety!

We read a verse or saying everynight before dinner by randomly opening the book to a page......it is a nice jumping off point for discussions on different traditions and ways to show our gratitude.......it is separated into sections with the seasons, too, which is nice. Really enjoy this book and it is a lovely gift for a friend.
A Grateful Heart
2008-01-14 - A wonderful book full of gems of wisdom and gratitude.
"Gratitude is Heaven itself."
A gem of blessings and prayers suitable for many occasions!
2007-12-14 - I received this book as a gift in 1996 and have used it on many occasions. The last time I read from this at a small dinner party, everyone wanted to know the name of the book and where I got it. That in itself is a testimonial. Most interesting was that all agreed that the three separate blessings I chose (before dinner, after dinner, and wishes for the new year 2008) were appropriate. Enough said!
More coffee table than dinner table 
2007-08-23 - This is a nice collection of poems, blessings and short devotionals and they are categorized. I was looking for a book with more traditional blessings that appeal to a house with three teenagers and these selections are just a little too "devotional" and not quite what I was expecting.
family bonding
2007-01-09 - The book provides an excellent way to start conversations with your family about being grateful. We've also found it interesting to discuss the various authors. Love the fact that not all the quotes are religous based.
