The Blessing by John Trent and Gary Smalley is about "Giving the gift of unconditional love and acceptance." It is a simple read packed with great insight and advice. This book is divided into 4 parts with several chapters, each having multiple chapters. Part 1: Why is the blessing so importance? Part 2: Understanding the Blessing. Part 2 is the instructional meat, if you will, of the book. The chapters in this part explain how to bless others and your children-Meaningful touch, a spoken message, attaching high value, picturing a special future, and an active commitment. Part 3: When the blessing doesnt happen, and Part 4: Living the Blessing challenge.
This book is a great manual for helping raise children and also to help understand reasons adults may behave the way they do simply due to a withheld or missed blessing. "The Blessing" has biblical based evidence to help form the best relationships, meaningful and positive.
I was given this book as part of a blogger review program and the opinions expressed are soley my own. Thanks
