Every human needs the gift of "the blessing"—the unconditional love and approval that comes from a healthy relationship with one's parents. So many of us don't even realise that we have missed out on one of God's greatest gifts to us. The blessing is a life changing book that will help you deal with the lack of blessing in your past, help you gain a new perspective on how God views you which will help you to give the blessing to your loved ones.
I have found this book tremendously practical both in how it communicates the blessing and also in giving ideas for how we can apply the blessing to our life. If everything that is suggested in this book is applied then I am sure that your life will be dramatically changed, especially in families where words are used without any thought or purpose. I found myself looking back over my childhood and considered both the positive and negatives that were spoken over me, I was greatly encouraged by what I saw and have found a new love for my family through this exercise. Over the years it has been too easy to just remember the bad moments but by forcing myself to consider everything I realised how hard my parents tried to bless me and I am left more grateful than ever before for all the good things in my life.
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, and an active commitment. I highly recommend this book to you and thank you to Thomas Nelson who provided me a free copy of this book in exchange for this review.
