Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-08 00:00:00 Lee Kaplan A book with a unique perspective I hadn't thought of previously. While I may not agree with everything in it (which I think is common for most books...), it spoke volumes about my relationship with my dad and gave good thoughts on how to approach that situation, by directing the heart back to Christ. The second to last chapter really hit home for me. Great for anyone who feels they have/had a less than stellar relationship with a parent, sibling, spouse, etc.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-25 00:00:00 Ryan Koch The Blessing [Revised and Updated] by John Trent and Gary Smalley The Blessing powerfully communicates biblical truths on how to instill self-worth and emotional well-being into others based on these five essential elements: Meaningful touch A spoken message Attaching high value Picturing a special future An active commitment In The Blessing John Trent and Gary Smalley shares countless true life stories of men and women and their personal examples of "the blessing." While some have received a blessing, there are also some disheartening stories of those who are still seeking the blessing. The Scripture references are effective in illustrating the use of each of the five elements for extending the blessing. Also found throughout the book are the many practical suggestions serving as examples for blessing others. Being a mother of small children, I found The Blessing to be both enlightening and informative. I can now apply what I have learned to make a difference in not only in the lives of my children, but also my husband and my friends and family. I highly recommend The Blessing to parents, teachers, spouses or anyone seeking encourage those around them. (You will be encouraged to learn it is never too late to give or even to receive the blessing, and there is no age limit!!)
