How to Have an Attitude of Gratitude
on the Night Shift
Introduction by William David Spencer
TERESA FLOWERS
JEANNE DEFAZIO
Teresa Flowers is a Deacon at Pilgrim Church in Beverly, MA and the Director of Pilgrim Church’s Community Meals Program. She
is a contributing author to the book Creative Ways to Build Christian Community, which is co-edited by Jeanne C. DeFazio and John P.
Lathrop (2013).
Jeanne DeFazio holds an MA in Religion from Gordon Conwell Seminary. She is currently an Athanasian Scholar at Gordon
Conwell’s Center for Urban Ministerial Education in Boston and the co-editor, with John P. Lathrop, of the book, Creative Ways to Build
Christian Community (2013).
This simple, accessible little devotional should be taken like a medicine in daily dosages: repeat as necessary until your spirit is
heartened. I was moved in my spirit and heartened in my commitment to act by contemplating these lives and these prayers. I
trust you will be, too. Expect to be sobered, nourished, uplifted, and spurred to responsive action. In short, expect to be blessed
and edified.
—Dr. William David Spencer, Co-founder with his wife, Dr. Aida Besançon Spencer, House of Prisca and Aquila Series for Wipf and Stock Publishing, South Hamilton, MA
“The world needs the kind of simple, loving, faith-filled philosophy espoused in How to
Have an Attitude of Gratitude on the Night Shift. It has a searing beauty that reaches deep
down into one’s heart.”
—TONY DUKE, founder, Boys and Girls Harbor, East Hampton, NY
“How to Have an Attitude of Gratitude on the Night Shift, with poetry by Teresa Flowers
and narration by Jeanne DeFazio, is a precious collection of brilliant invocations of
healing and grace for everyone in this world of trial and tribulation. It is a beautiful jewel
to keep for everyone to read.”
—TED BAEHR, founder, MOVIEGUIDE®, Camarillo, CA
“In a world where the sacredness of youth is desecrated by abortion, abuse, and divorce,
the poetry of Teresa offers us images of hope and dignity, the hope and dignity that only
God’s love and power can bring. Read Teresa’s poetic words and feel a surge of the life of
God sweeping into our broken world with an intimate embrace.”
—FATHER MICHAEL MANNING, Catholic priest whose ministry is television, The Word in the World,
