People of every age long for the gift of The Blessing--the unconditional love and approval that comes from healthy relationships with your family and with the world around you.

    This life-changing gift is essential for instilling a deep sense of worthiness and unshakable emotional well-being. In The Power of the Blessing, you'll learn about these five keys to improving your relationships:

    • Meaningful, encouraging touch
    • A confirming spoken message
    • Attaching high value
    • Picturing a special future
    • An active commitment

    Written for women and men alike, The Power of the Blessing offers five keys to create a lifestyle of blessing others, including your family and those you love.

      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.
