The Forgotten Meaning and Practice of Blessing

About this book

How do we express the good that God wants for those we love? How do we experience blessing through pain and suffering? Why would we bless even enemies? How do we keep spoken blessings in sync with God's will? And how do we integrate blessing, a concept woven throughout the entire Bible, into the fabric of our everyday lives?

In Given, you will journey outside of your comfort zone, into a world of blessing as a relational calling—as a way God relates to you and a way you're called to relate to others. You will travel across countries, cultures, and centuries of church history to expand your paradigm of a word ripe with significance. Along the way, you'll be inspired to begin the essential Christian practice of being given by God as a blessing.

Journey with author Tina Boesch to discover your calling to a meaningful way of living and relating to God and others, inspired by Christ, who gave himself on the cross so that we could fully experience God's blessing.
