Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of how the celebration of Thanksgiving in the U.S.A. has changed from the time of the Pilgrims in 1621 to modern day 2012. What started as a religious observance marked by worship, prayer, a hearty meal and a community attitude of thankfulness has transitioned over time to a secular long weekend filled with family, friends, over-eating, watching football and shopping. The primary purpose of the book is to encourage Christians to refocus their Thanksgiving Day celebration away from the secular to the religious with an emphasis on giving thanks to our Creator and Providential Provider ... Almighty Jehovah God.
