Children of every age long for the gift of The Blessing - the unconditional love and approval that comes from a healthy relationship with their parents.
This life-changing gift for Christian parents and their children, essential for instilling a deep sense of self-worth and unshakable emotional well-being, contains five essential elements:
Meaningful touch.
A spoken message.
Attaching high value.
Picturing a special future.
An active commitment.
Offering solid, practical advice and a fresh perspective on making this gift a bigger part of our families, The Blessing powerfully communicates these biblically based elements as necessary to prepare children for positive future relationships, including their relationship with a loving God.
Dr. John Trent is an award-winning, best-selling author and speaker.
He has published more than 20 books, including The Blessing, which has over 2 million copies in print.
Dr. Trent currently runs his ministry StrongFamilies, a ministry where imperfect people and less than perfect families (just like the Trent’s) can find resources and encouragement to help you love the Lord, yourself and others fully.
However, Dr. Trent's biggest accomplishment is being married to his incredible wife of 40 years, Cindy. And being a father of two amazing daughters.
Kari Trent Stageberg is a speaker and author best known for her work on the book, The Blessing.
Kari also serves as the CEO of StrongFamilies, a ministry where imperfect people and less than perfect families (just like the Trent’s) can find resources and encouragement to help you love the Lord, yourself and others fully. As a survivor of abuse, Kari's passion is to help everyone find freedom and healing in Jesus.
When she isn't writing or speaking, she spends her time enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her amazing husband, Joey.

In this episode, Matthew & Carol Newell share about their latest book Healing Your Child’s Brain.
In Healing Your Child ’s Brain, child development experts Matthew and Carol Newell equip parents with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to help their special- needs child flourish. The Newells taught more than 20,000 parents and were the parents of two children with special needs. They know firsthand, as both parents and practitioners, what works—and what doesn’t.
Most treatments focus on managing symptoms but don’t address underlying neurological issues. This book guides readers through the stages of brain development and how they affect functioning, showing what wellness looks like at each level and how to identify—and address at the root—these challenges.
