Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays sponsor is Crossway, a company we all know well, I’m sure. Crossway has 3 new books for you to win—or for 5 of you to win at any rate. Which is to say that 5 people will win all 3 of these books:
- Rid of My Disgrace by Justin & Lindsey Holcomb
- Redemption by Mike Wilkerson
- Practicing Affirmation by Sam Crabtree
Practicing Affirmation is one that looks particularly interesting to me. Here’s a description:
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. Christian communities are no exception. 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. 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. Crabtree shows how a robust "God-centered affirmation ratio" refreshes others and honors God.
Practicing Affirmation sounds a call to recognize and affirm the character of Christ in others. When done well, affirmation does not fuel pride in the person, but refreshes them and honors God. All who are discouraged in relationships will find wisdom and practical insight in this book.

Ok, it is about time for me to win one of these…this would be a great one to win. I don’t have any of those books, and I really need to learn how to be more affirmative with my kids!
