Summary
Summary
Children of every age long for the gift of The Blessing—the unconditional love and approval that comes from a healthy relationship with their parents.
This life-changing gift for Christian parents and their children, essential for instilling a deep sense of self-worth and unshakable emotional well-being, contains five essential elements:
- meaningful touch
- a spoken message
- attaching high value
- picturing a special future
- an active commitment
Offering solid, practical advice and a fresh perspective on making this gift a bigger part of our families, The Blessing powerfully communicates these biblically based elements as necessary to prepare children for positive future relationships, including their relationship with a loving God.
New to this updated edition are
- giving The Blessing to others in your circle of influence,
- practical application tools and stories of how this is lived out,
- insight and help for those who didn't receive The Blessing,
- and how to create a lifestyle of blessing others.
