It happens in marriages, parent-child relationships, friendships, workplaces, and churches: Communication falters, friendships wane, teenagers withdraw, marriages fail, and bitter rifts sever once-strong ties.
All who are discouraged in relationships will find wisdom and practical insight in this book..
When done well, affirmation does not fuel pride in the person, but refreshes them and honors God.
Practicing Affirmation sounds a call to recognize and affirm the character of Christ in others.
Crabtree shows how a robust "God-Centered affirmation ratio" refreshes others and honors God.
He observes in Scripture that God grants mercy to Those who refresh others, and in life that people tend to be influenced by Those who Praise them.
Why do so many of our relationships suffer from alienation, indifference, and even hostility? Author Sam Crabtree believes that often at the heart of these breakdowns is a lack of affirmation.
Christian communities are no exception.
