Inspiring Stories that Open Your
Soul to Grace . . .
260 True Stories that Focus Your Eyes on the
Lavish Gifts of God

Eble
Special "Early Christmas"
sale!
I was thinking about how God gives us gifts.
We know one is coming (because he's so generous), we can
even ask for what we want, but he reserves the right to decide
what you'll get.
So I thought I'd do somethng similar.
Find out how to get a free
book ... sort of a surprise ... the way God gives us
gifts.
 Have you ever found a $20 dollar
bill in your coat pocket that you forgot you had
-- or received a big fat check in the mail
that you weren't expecting? Have you ever received a
surprise gift from someone -- even though
there was no special occasion?
Everybody loves getting surprise gifts they didn't know they
had coming. Don't you wish you could receive an
unexpected gift every day? Especially a gift that
nourishes your soul and changes your life?
Be careful what you ask for -- you just might get
it!
J.P. de Caussade, the author of one of the greatest classics on
surrendering our will to Divine
Providence, once wrote:
"Those who have abandoned themselves
to God always lead
mysterious lives and receive from him exceptional and
miraculous gifts by means of the most ordinary, natural and
chance experiences."
Whether you realize it or not, God's
hidden
gifts are everywhere -- just
waiting to be discovered. But in order to see them -- and
experience them in your life -- you need a special kind
of spectacles.
Imagine for a moment that you're about to view a 3-D
movie. When you view it with the naked eye, the picture
seems somewhat blurred and out of focus,
doesn't it? That's because in order to see the movie as it’s
meant to be seen, you need 3-D glasses.
Likewise, our view of the world isn't quite what it should be
when seen with the naked eye. In order to fully experience the
height, breadth, depth and magnitude of
God's gifts, you need special glasses -- more particularly, the
spiritual equivalent of 3-D glasses.

Exquisite Nuggets of
Wisdom
"Rarely has a book roused in me
so many profound revelations as has Diane
Eble's Abundant
Gifts . The real-life stories contained
in her book are exquisite
nuggets of
wisdom that unwrap God's
miraculous gifts to anyone
who's willing to open their eyes to find
them. I can't even count the number of
times I've read some of these
motivational stories aloud to friends who
needed the right words spoken in due
season.
"As you turn the pages of her book, read the
words slowly -- and savor the
rich morsels as you would a meal so
extraordinarily tasty you hope it never ends.
There are 5 stories to be read each week -- one
for every weekday -- but they're so
irresistible you'll be tempted to
read all these motivational stories in one
sitting. This book has changed my
life so much that I've given it as a
gift to more people than any other book I've
encountered."

God Wants to Give You His Best --
If You'll Let Him
 My name is Diane Eble. I'm the author of 11
books, including Knowing the Voice of
God and MotherStyles: Using Personality Type to
Discover Your Parenting
Strengths (coauthored with Janet Penley).
In 1995, I developed a habit that has enriched my life
beyond measure -- and I'd like to share it with
you.
It was the habit of seeing.
Over the past decade or so, I got into the practice of actively
looking for God's gifts -- especially the ones disguised as
everyday things. Amazingly enough, there were so many of them
that I began to write them down in a "gifts journal."
As I continued with the practice, I began to see "glimpses of
grace" -- and started to perceive God's hand in the
commonplace. I suddenly discovered freedom from worry,
hope in the midst of adversity and comfort in
hardship. I began to feel that God was always there for me,
showing me He loves me right now -- every day. A newfound peace
and gratitude began to define my every waking moment.
Not only did God color the dark moments of my
life with joy but He began to shower me with every imaginable
gift -- making my life complete, lacking nothing. God
did not necessarily create perfect circumstances in
my life, mind you. Rather, He gave me the eyes to
see the wondrous gifts that I couldn't see before.
I recalled the Scripture that states "God is able to do
exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or
think." I knew then that it was absolutely
true.
|
"Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from
above, and comes down from the
Father of lights, with whom there is no
variation or shadow of
turning." -- James 1:17

Gifts Wrapped Up in Inspirational
Stories
In the course of my work as an author and a freelance book
editor, I've encountered amazing people who, like myself, had
acquired the same habit of seeing -- the habit I fondly refer
to as "the spiritual equivalent of 3-D glasses." These people
shared their stories with me -- and their motivational stories,
combined with my own, have turned into the 260 daily
reflections that comprise my latest book, Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled
Devotions.
About one-third of Jesus' teaching was in brief
stories (parables) from everyday life told by
way of analogy to illustrate spiritual truths. Likewise,
the 260 stories in Abundant
Gifts unravel the mysteries of God
-- thereby releasing His provision of priceless gifts
from the rich treasures of His creation. "For it is
God's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
|
"The stories never cease to
encourage. It's one of those books you
can read again and again, and pass along
to those who need to know that
God is always
there and working -- even
when we don't always
see."
-- Francine
Rivers, best-selling author of
And the Shofar Blew

When the first edition of my book was released in 1999, I was
unprepared for the tremendous impact it would have
on the lives of the people who read it.
I sent a copy to Jan Karon, renowned novelist whose
best-selling Mitford series has sold more than
16 million copies worldwide. I was both honored and
humbled when she mentioned my book in the “What I’m
Reading” section of her Fall 2003 newsletter. In her
review, she said: “God speaks to me through Diane’s
pen.”
The following story is just another example of the
countless ways people have been affected by
Abundant Gifts.

When the Giver is the
Gift...
On the morning of July
31, 2004, the phone rang and my husband,
Gene, answered it. The woman on the other
end of the line asked for me. Gene told
her I was in the shower, and offered to
take a message. The woman was crying
inconsolably, which prompted Gene to
knock on the bathroom door and insist
that I take the call.
Turning off the shower -- I was halfway
through, between the shampoo and the
conditioner -- and dripping with moisture, I
took the phone Gene handed me. Who could be
calling? I felt a little alarmed,
wondering what was the matter, and somehow
expecting bad news.
 It turned out to be
Maria, a woman I barely knew at the time,
whom I'd met recently on the Internet
while researching ways to promote my
book,
Abundant Gifts. She had been so helpful to me
that I had sent her a complimentary copy
of the book a couple of weeks
previously.
Between her tears, she told me she was
on the 9th day of reading the daily stories
contained in my book. She said that every day
she read my book, her eyes were so
reawakened
to God’s abundance in her
everyday life that she’d made it a habit
to pick up the phone and call someone to
share what she had discovered in my
book.
That particular morning, the day’s meditation
made her weep because it gave rise to
profound revelations that resonated
with her. She said that upon reading the
meditation, she came to the realization that as
abundant as God’s gifts are, they couldn’t
compare with his greatest gift of all - the
gift of himself. "The Giver
is the gift!" she
exclaimed, clearly stirred by her
realization.
I was heartened by Maria's words because, more
than anything, I want people to get the right
idea about God. When I say he is a gift-giving
God, I want people to see that He gives gifts
because of His gracious God-love. He is not the
some cosmic vending machine, dispensiing candy
to greedy children. He gives so lavishly for
one purpose -- to draw each beloved child
closer to His heart of love.
In this instance, the gifts kept coming.
Incredibly, after Maria shared with me what my
book had done for her, I too received a gift of
immeasurable value.
For some time, I’ve had a jaded attitude toward
being an author. About two years ago, I got
very discouraged about how my books would get
into print, then shortly thereafter go out of
print. This made me wonder whether I ought to
write any more books at all -- and I even
considered quit writing books altogether and
finding something else to do for "real money."
Maria’s call made me realize that if my words
could touch people’s lives the way
they’d visibly touched her, I had no business
doubting whether I should continue writing
books or not. This ability to write was a gift
that God entrusted to me, and through which he
intends to bless others. What right had I to
refuse to serve the gift?
Four days later, I received yet another
gift. Maria had sent me a check in the
amount of $1,000. Maria knew I didn’t have
much of a budget to promote
Abundant
Gifts, so she said if a thousand
dollars could help get my book into the
hands of more people, it was money well
spent.
I thanked her profusely -- but she insisted
that the gift I had given her by sending her my
book was an even greater
gift to her.
In fact, to express her thanks, Maria prepared
something very special for me and all my
Abundant
Gifts friends: a Digital
Personal Journal. This amazing software acts
like a diary. Its pages turn like a real
diary -- and you can write on it
like a real diary -- but it resides on
your computer (not online) for your security
and privacy. Sprinkled liberally throughout the
journal pages are inspirational passages,
quotes--and even music clips you can listen
to.
Digital journals like these are selling
for $39.95 or more -- but this
one's yours for
FREE You will also receive the
Abundant Gifts e-zine, a newsletter designed to
help you develop the habit of seeing everyday
gifts from a lavish God. (You may unsubscribe
at any time.)

your copy of the Digital Personal
Journal, simply fill out the form

you will enjoy using this for keeping track of
your abundant gifts ... or for whatever reason
you choose.

Your Sixth Sense: Seeing
Beyond What Your Eyes Can See
Ever since
Abundant Gifts was published
a few years ago, I've received a steady stream of letters
and e-mails from people whose lives have changed as a
result of reading it. Suddenly, I came to this
realization: If I don't do everything in my power to help
people experience the splendid gifts of our generous God,
I would be doing them a great
disservice!
Therefore, when the book temporarily went out of print, it
prompted me to seek a new publisher (New Hope Publishers) to
spearhead the second printing of the book. It was finally
re-released in October 2004.
Last year, in 2007, that publisher decided not
to reprint another edition of the book, but I do have a limited
supply of the books in stock. Because you are buying from me,
every book you request will be signed and personalized
by the author! Consider getting one for yourself,
and one as a gift for someone who needs a special touch
from God.
It is my hope that
Abundant
Gifts will bestow upon you, as it has done for many
others, the sixth sense to see above and
beyond what your eyes can see -- and discern God's
extravagant gifts that He's been waiting to give
you.

Here's what people are saying
about
Abundant Gifts...
"Diane Eble has such a wonderful
way with words. Besides being beautifully
designed (in either edition) this book
overflows with well-written, touching
and timely devotions. Abundant
Gifts truly is a gift!"
-- Deborah Raney, author of A
Nest of
Sparrows and Playing by
Heart
“Reading Abundant Gifts is like
sitting down with a box of Godiva
chocolates. It’s hard to stop at just one!
But each is so rich and satisfying.”
- Peggy
Stoks, Lino Lakes,
Minnesota
“When I start reading, I feel my
spirit ratcheting up a notch on the
gratefulness, joyfulness scale.
Reading the motivational stories and
quotes in your book is like receiving a
big rope that pulls me up out of the
doldrums. They turn my head around in
a new direction and get me off the
'things-
aren't-working-in-my-life' focus.”
- Virginia Vagt, Wheaton,
Illinois
“Your messages always give me a
jolt and wake me up to God's
blessings. It is a wonderful ministry
that you give to all of us.”
- Doris Rikkers, Grand Rapids,
Michigan
“Reading Abundant
Gifts every day has been
God’s gift to
me.”-- Bodie
Thoene, author of A.D.
Chronicles and Zion
Legacy series
"I love your book. I bought eight or ten
copies and gave them away as
gifts. One friend reads it all the time and
it has been a source of comfort and
encouragement to her. She loves you and doesn't
even know you."
-- Debbie
Fisher, Plantation,
Florida
"I pick up
Abundant Gifts again and again.
Each time it's like finding one treasure at
a time."
-- Lynn
Lloyd, Warrenville,
Illinois
"This book discusses the abundant gifts that
God has in store for us each and every day. The
author not only urges us to discover these
gifts in our own lives, but also shows many
examples in these devotions. By living in an
expectant fashion, we discover
and are amazed at what God does to personally
affect our lives. I would recommend this
book for all who believe in God. Busy people
who would like to take the time for a short
devotion will appreciate how quickly it reads
-- but the message of each devotion will touch
hearts." -- Anonymous Reader's Review posted on
Amazon.com

The real-life, inspirational stories contained
in
Abundant Gifts encompass life's
struggles and adventures and demonstrate how people have
found joy in the hidden gifts of God that they had never
before looked deep enough to find. All we
have to do is unmask our eyes to the splendid
gifts of a lavish God that are evident in
seemingly random, everyday events.
This collection of 260 stories and
meditations - 5 daily readings for each week of the year - will
open your eyes to experience God’s love in your
everyday life, and help you recognize His miracles that
often go unnoticed. It reveals how God gives you
exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever ask or
think. These reflections will help you see with your own
eyes how generous God is.
Here's a sneak peek at just 8 of the 260 stories that comprise
Abundant Gifts:
- Spiritual Alchemy - If you've
ever struggled with a difficult relationship or been
surrounded with people who seem determined to hurt
you, this story will enable you to surrender your
pain, fear, anger and hurt to God and allow Him to
transform them into something quite
different -- forgiveness, freedom to love, and the
power to change yourself and your world. It is
spiritual alchemy at its highest and grandest when
God turns your ashes into beauty through
the miracle of grace.
- The Day the Air Sparkled - The
morning after the worst snowstorm to hit the Midwest
in 30 years, I walked through two feet of snow,
noticing that a persistent wind picked up the fine,
dry snowflakes and flung them into the sunlight.
Mounds of freshly fallen snow shone like huge
pearls, and the air was full of
sparkles! This story presents a
heartwarming reflection that reminds us that the wind
doesn't howl forever -- and that a sparkling day
waits around the corner .. after the storm.
Because of the storm.
- Songs for a Musician - This is
the story of Jack Stone, a musician who led a church
choir and conducted the orchestra at a large
university on the West Coast. One day, he was
dismissed from his position as the conductor of the
orchestra. At first, he was stunned and dismayed, but
he later realized that the dismissal was God's
special way of communicating with him and telling him
he could finally pursue his greatest
love -- that of performing as a violinist.
This story is a wonderful reminder that even on days
when God feels distant, He is always with you.
-
The Eight Words That Changed My
Marriage - If your spouse has ever
stretched your patience to the breaking point, or
made you feel disappointed, disgruntled or
dissatisfied with your marriage, there are 8
words that I've found to be God's personalized
gift for improving any marriage. They are a
prescription for how to love another
person, whether it be a spouse, a parent,
friend or child. I've received more thank-you
e-mails for this story than all the other stories
in the book. Quite a few married people tell me
this alone is well worth the price of the
entire book.
-
A Repeated Message of
Comfort - When JoAnn Harvey was twenty-two, her
mother died. Because her mother and she had been
very close, she felt alone and devastated. Later,
her own daughter died in her sleep quite suddenly
and inexplicably. If you've ever asked the
question, "How could God let this
happen?" the words God whispered in
JoAnn's ear will be the sliver of
light that will shine through your days
of questions. The words, which come directly from
Scripture, are a verse you can pin your life
on.
-
What God Gives When He Takes
Everything Away - Have you ever faced a
situation you couldn't understand -- and found it
impossible to see God's hand in it? If you've
ever had to live through an extended period of
suffering and difficulty, this story will give
you the comfort to know that "...when God takes
everything else away, what He gives you in its
place is Himself." It will give you hope that as
you seek God for Himself, not just as a way out
of your pain, you will find a loving Savior and a
purpose for your suffering.
-
Finding God at Home - If
you've ever rebelled against doing domestic
chores; if you've ever begrudged having to do
thankless tasks that are not fulfilling, such as
laundry, dishes, and cooking; or if you've ever
yearned to be able to achieve, find fulfillment,
and use your gifts outside the context of the
home; this story will give you an uplifting
perspective. It will reveal how mundane and
routine acts of service, when done in the spirit
of love can be used and blessed by
God.
-
A Rose in the Storm - This
is the story of how novelist Michael Phillips
came up with the idea for the first volume in
The Secret of the Rose series, The
Eleventh Hour (Tyndale, 1993). He had
been praying for a story idea, but never expected
God to answer through a rose plant that had been
left for dead in the alley behind his house. One
January day at the end of a week of violent
weather -- wind, hail, snow and ice -- a rose
bloomed miraculously out of the throwaway plant.
That got Michael's creative juices flowing and
enabled him to not only start writing the book,
but also finish it in record time -- two months!
The experience also caused Michael to open his
eyes to see wonderful things -- in God's Word, in
His person, in His creation, and in His people.
It's a wonderful reminder that our mysterious,
creative God is always at work making roses
bloom where we least expect them.

"... The Stories Touched My
Heart ..."
"I have been reading each day
of this past year from Abundant
Gifts and I want you to know how
much the messages mean to me. I hate to
see it come to an end. I plan on reading
it again as the new year begins... So
many of the stories touched my
heart. So many of them I could relate
to. I have discovered anew this year the
power of prayer and how God touches
our lives in so many wonderful ways.
And I do believe God has a sense of
humor!"

Arthur, Charlton, New York

Why You
Need This Book
Earlier on, I told you I'd show you a
deceptively simple practice that, if you do it yourself, is
guaranteed to bring you unimaginable joy instantly. Here it
is:
Name 3 things that you are thankful
for.
Type them into the box below (don't worry -- no
one will see your answers but you).
Have you finished typing 3 things that you are
thankful for? If so, good! Now, add 2 more things
to your list.
How do you feel now? Even better? If you
did this every day for 3 weeks, what do you think would
happen?
|
According to a study reported in
the Spring 2000 issue of the Journal
of Social and Clinical Psychology,
people who kept a daily log of 5 things
they were thankful for reported
increased energy, less health
complaints, and greater feelings of
overall well-being at the end of
just 3 weeks.
|
This gives you an idea of the same kind of
joy that you'll experience when you open your eyes to receive
not just 5 -- but innumerable gifts -- from God
every day. When you read one reflection from
Abundant Gifts
each day and discover the lavish gifts of
God, you simply can't help but be thankful -- and this
brings about a cascade of benefits that exceed
those reported in the Journal of Social and Clinical
Psychology.
Isn't this the way you'd like to live your life every day? A
life filled with God's best -- instead of a life of
lack?
Then, you owe it to yourself to
claim
your
a
bundant gifts today and start
experiencing the fullness of joy that you so rightfully
deserve.

A Wonderful Way to
Live
One woman, who asked to remain
anonymous, shared the following
story:
“When my husband was unemployed
-- for the third time in several years --
I felt totally stressed out. I was a
witch to live with. I was at
my wit’s end, and couldn’t even
pray. My husband kept trying to tell
me to have faith, but that would only
make me angrier with him.
“Then I picked up your
book. Because I was working two jobs to make
ends meet, along with taking care of the
family, the only time I had to read was at 2
a.m. every night. I read your book every
single night, and finished it in a
week.
“You would not believe the
change it made in me. It totally
rearranged my whole perspective. I
began to see God’s love again. I began to
believe that things could turn around.
And I became nicer to live with. My
husband noticed the change, as did my
children. I was, quite literally, a
different person.
“I don’t know if it was also a
result of your book and my increased
faith or what, but the very next week
my husband found a job!
“I have continued to look for
God’s gifts every day, and it is such a
wonderful way to live.”

Another Gift for You -- the Abundant
Gifts E-Book Journal
While
Abundant Gifts gives you a running
start with 260 stories of God's wonders and surprises,
there is nothing that compares with the experience of
plumbing the spiritual depths of your very
own stories of God's goodness and grace.
Therefore, I've created something special for you -- the
Abundant Gifts E-Book Journal.
When or not you choose to own the
book,
Abundant Gifts
, I would like you to
have a free copy of your very own
Abundant Gifts E-Book Journal. It is my gift to
you.
The Abundant Gifts E-Book
Journal is the perfect companion
to
Abundant Gifts. It is a downloadable, printable journal
filled with inspirational quotes and plenty of space to
write your own reflections and record your personal
feelings about experiencing God's love and generosity on a
personal basis.
If you've longed for a sense that God is personally involved in
your life, the practice of writing your thoughts in this
journal will accomplish that for you -- as my own journal
writing did for me.
Whether you choose the
Digital
Personal Journal or the E-Book
Journal, I want you to start experiencing the power of
recording God's gifts on a daily basis.You simply won't know
the tremendous value of this practice until you
actually do it.
Companion journals like
these normally retail for $10.00 or more. However, I prefer to
offer them to you as a gift. You see, my purpose for
creating the journal was NOT to supplement the revenues from my
book -- as I've seen other authors do. I created the journal
out of my own gratitude for the gift of seeing -- and the
difference it has made in my life. As a firm believer of the
Scripture that states, "Freely you have received, freely
give," I therefore wish to give this journal free of
charge to help you develop the habit of
seeing -- that sixth sense that will help you
recognize God's miracles that often go unnoticed.

your journal and print it out so you can start using it
immediately.
You can use the Journal to record your own
personal abundant gifts. You can also use it to record your
family's blessings, on a daily or weekly basis. You can reprint
it as many times as you like, making it a perpetual way to
record your blessings.
I can't tell you how my own Abundant Gifts
Journal has pulled me out of "the blues." Whenever I'm feeling
down, I can pull out my Journal of God's goodness and
faithfulness, and it lifts my spirits every time. Because God
is the same today and tomorrow as he was yesterday, I know that
he will continue to "pursue me with goodness and mercy" in the
present and future, as he has in the past.
I hope you will also get your
copy of Abundant
Gifts, which will give you those "3-D
glasses" to see even more gifts than you probably would
otherwise.

It's Not by Accident that You've
Arrived at This Site
I'm convinced that it was through no accident that you've
found this website. There are no accidents in God's universe. I
believe that your search for spiritual truth is what brought
you here -- and God reveals Himself to those who seek Him.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and everything shall be added to
you."
I once defined joy as "knowing you're in the center of God's
will." True joy is not brought about by
external conditions -- or by ideal
circumstances based on worldly standards. Exuberant joy springs
from deep within us -- from knowing that there is a loving and
personal God who looks after us and wants the best for us. It
is the joy that I -- as well as the countless people who have
read
Abundant Gifts
-- have come to know.
I believe you found your way to this website because you, too,
are seeking that exuberant joy -- the joy that comes with God's
peace, which surpasses all understanding.
Claim it now-- and know that God delights in giving
abundant blessings to those who seek Him.

We Often Overlook
the Wonderful, Ordinary
Things...
“I want to write and thank you
for
Abundant Gifts
, an act that is a
rare one for me. I
never write authors about
their books. But yours has had a
very positive
effecton me.
"As I browsed in the bookstore, I was looking
for a devotional that would help me through the
next year. I ended up choosing three different
devotionals -- one dealing with missions, one
the Guideposts annual book, and
yours. Although I purchased all three, because
I couldn’t choose, yours won the final
selection round!
"The theme of Abundant Gifts really
spoke to me. So many times the wonderful,
ordinary things the God provides for us from
day to day are overlooked. As his children, we
are blessed in so many ways that we take for
granted. I wanted to be reminded throughout
the year in the gray days that I knew would
come that God is reaching out to me every
day.
"Thank you for your reminders every day during
this past year of the blessings of God, the
grace that he bestows daily, and the love he
shows in circumstances that don’t seem
heaven-sent.”
-- T. F., Central, South
Carolina

Unwrap a Wonderful Gift a
Day
Someone once told me that reading
Abundant Gifts was very much like
Christmas morning when you look forward with
anticipation to opening your presents. I happen to think
it's infinitely better.
It's not just getting a bunch of gifts on a single day but it's
getting a "gift-a-day" -- wherein you're astonished anew each
time you open the book and receive yet another gift. Best of
all, each daily gift comes from the most generous Giver of all
-- the One no one could possibly outgive. Almighty
God!
Friend, my heart’s desire is that you too would discover
this “abundant gifts way of living.” Let God’s joy satisfy your
longings. Let His compassion free you from worry and see you
through the dark moments of your life. Let His wealth enrich
your life in ways you never thought possible.
I invite you to wake up each day with a sense of
adventure as you encounter God in the ordinary and feast
on His abundance.
May you be richly blessed today and always,
 
P.S. Don't forget -- after you've ordered
Abundant Gifts from Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com or
other online bookseller, send me your order
confirmation/receipt via email: diane@abundant-gifts.com.
Then I can send you the download link where you can get
your free gift -- the Abundant Gifts E-Book
Journal.

"It is truly a
Godsend"
"I was particularly moved by the
devotion in Diane Eble's book titled
The Eight Words That Changed My
Marriage. Its wisdom applies not
only to marriage relationships,
but also to parent-child relationships,
relationships between friends and
siblings, and practically all
interpersonal relationships. The
other night, I read the devotion to my
daughter and my son-in-law while they
were having dinner. They were
supremely blessed by it, as
were all the other people I've shared it
with.
"I make it a point to read Abundant
Gifts every day, but particularly on
nights that I have difficulty falling asleep,
my favorite pastime is to read as
many of the book's heartwarming stories as I
can. My niece and my daughters-in-law are also
enjoying the book very much. It truly is a
godsend!" -- Tita Gutierrez, Rancho Cucamonga,
California
