Plot

The blessing" -- that is what the Bible calls the gift of unconditional love and family approval that all of us, children and adults, long for. Receiving the blessing and passing it on is crucial for our self-esteem. In these classic bestselling guides -- now together for the first time -- respected family counselors Gary Smalley and John Trent help readers understand the vital importance of family acceptance. The Gift of the Blessing unfolds the ancient concept of the blessing and details the five practical elements: meaningful touch, the spoken word, the expression of high value, the description of a special future, the application of genuine commitment. Then the authors show readers how to apply these very important elements and to help readers pass it on to parents, spouses, children, and friends to experience life-changing peace. The Gift of Honor describes specific ways parents can communicate the blessing so that children of all ages feel valued, cherished, and secure. That strong sense of self-worth gives children the best start on adult success. Powerful and insightful, these practical guides have changed millions of lives. This new two-in-one edition promises to bring peace and healing to many more.
