The best-selling classic that helps children thrive today and experience a special future tomorrow. Now revised, updated, and enhanced for a new generation! Children of every age long for the gift of "the blessing"--the unconditional love and approval that come from a healthy relationship with their parents.

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. But what if we've missed out on the blessing in our own lives? This audio book gives hope for "reversing the curse" and helps listeners find blessing in situations of divorce, death, desertion, adoption, and blended families. New to this updated edition are practical ideas, questions, exercises, and links for online resources--plus practical advice for planning a blessing event for a child, preparing a keepsake blessing, and living out the blessing every day of our lives.
I found the idea of movement being part of the Hebrew words for life and death interesting. The death of a marriage is very well represented by the idea of the couple moving away from each other. So, if you are trying to breathe fresh life into something then you should remember this idea of life being the movement toward. Want to keep a relationship alive? Then reach out to that person. ( )
Read this long ago and used it in a women's study group as our weekly text. Definitely filled with great insights, linked to the Biblical "blessings" in the Old/New Testament. A classic. Just saw they have republished an updated edition: I'm going to get it and read it again. ( )
I enjoyed this book. It was written in a combination of stories, lessons, and real life applications. The blessing that we are to give to our children is made of five parts: meaningful touch, a spoken or written message, attaching a high value, picture a special future, and active commitment. I will admit- at the beginning of this book I was a little confused- the entire idea of this book is very similar to the 5 love languages and I knew that was written by someone different. After reading more, I realize that although they are similar, they are not identical. I am planning on holding on to this book, but it instead of being a journey of self-discovery with some "aha" moment for me, it really was more "preaching to the choir."This book would be excellent for any new parent or first time parent, or a family with children who seem to be struggling. This book would be useful for ANY parent, Christian or not. The ideas in this book translate beyond Christianity and would benefit all children.I was provided this book for free from booksneeze.com for a review. I do not promise a positive review- only an honest one. http://www.oneminutebooks.blogspot.com( )

All of us long to be accepted by others. While we may say out loud, "I don't care what other people think about me," on the inside we all yearn for intimacy and affection.

May God enable you to become a mighty source of blessing, and may these words always ring true in your life: "The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord life up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."
