The Blessing by John Trent and Gary Smalley

I recently received the book The Blessing to review. It is a christian book about giving the gift of unconditional love and acceptance to those around you. It takes you through the five elements of the "blessing", along with web tools to help you along and bible verses to support the blessing.
As a parent of four, I was very interested in the premise of this book and thought of one child in particular that might be helped by reading this. I started off very eager to read this book. I enjoyed many of the stories and felt that I could connect to some of them through my own childhood. However, I felt a bit disappointed by the end of the book. I went through the five elements and didn't really feel like I learned anything new. This book may be helpful for new parents or for those who feel that they missed out on the blessing from their parents as there is much discussion on this and a chapter devoted to these individuals.
