The Gift of Encouraging Words

Reflections From the Writings of

Florence Littauer

• Publisher: Thomas Nelson
• Year: 1995
• eBook ISBN:
  9781418559977
• Topic: Theology & Religion
• Subtopic: Religion

Every woman needs an occasional pick-me-up or uplifting word from a friend, a spouse or even God. Similar in style to her best-selling book Silver Boxes, Littauer shares enlightening messages on topics such as giving children a bedtime blessing, accepting compliments, and avoiding the "blame game." Each reading has a personal touch from the author's life or a story all women can relate to.
