Most people have no idea who they were created to be, nor what their own unique gifts and talents are. So how can we recognize and affirm these things in others—especially if we were not encouraged ourselves as we were growing up? How can we change course and learn a language of blessing that will lead to positive change in all of our key personal and professional relationships? In The Language of Blessing, Joe Cavanaugh gives us practical tools to recognize our own gifts and those of others and to use our newfound “language” to bless the ones we care about, breaking a destructive generational cycle and setting a new course for our loved ones’ futures.

Very Encouraging Read
By Adam Faughn
Joseph Cavanaugh’s first book is a very encouraging look at how we speak into the lives of people we know and how that changes them. What is most interesting about this book to me, however, is that Cavanaugh spends quite a lot of time reminding us to speak into our own lives, not just the lives of other people. If we are not speaking blessing into our own lives, we will not be sharing blessings with others.The book is highly personal, which I like. The author is able to share times when he has both struggled to overcome negativity and when he has seen how speaking blessing into others has made a clear change. Throughout the volume, Cavanaugh (who admits to having a love of growing plants) uses the imagery of gardening. The consistent usage of this imagery adds to the overall feel and makes the book an easy read.If I were to pick one drawback, it would be that the book also mentions a particular work that the author is involved in, StrengthFinders, over and over. At times, it almost feels like a sales pitch. While I understand him mentioning the work, it becomes a labor to read about it so often in a fairly short book.Overall, I enjoyed this book and was challenged in my thinking to work within my strengths and to try to see the strengths of others, then to build up people in their strengths. I think this would be a good book for parents, employers, or even elders.

The Language of Blessing

OverviewMost people have no idea who they were created to be, nor what their own unique gifts and talents are. So how can we recognize and affirm these things in others–especially if we were not encouraged ourselves as we were growing up? How can we change course and learn a language of blessing that will lead to positive change in all of our key personal and professional relationships? In The Language of Blessing, Joe Cavanaugh gives us practical tools to recognize our own gifts and those of others and to use our newfound “language” to bless the ones we care about, breaking a destructive generational cycle and setting a new course for our loved ones’ futures.My ReviewI enjoyed reading this book! This book is very interesting and easy to read. As we go on in life, sometimes it’s easy to lose track of ourselves and what makes us us.The only complaint I have about the book is that there isn’t much of a scripture reference as it’s more of a self help book.Would I recommend this book? Yes, if someone is looking for a self help book. No, if they are looking for scripture resources.Thank you to Tyndale Blog Network for the free book to review.

The Language of Blessing

Having grown up as a product of abuse, the writer gained spiritual and emotional wisdom that only experience can teach. Out of his brokenness, he birthed New Life ministry, where he teaches on many things, particularly the subject of blessing.”Your words bring forth life or death. That may sound melodramatic or overstated; I assure you it is not. What you say has the power to give life to dreams and callings—or to snuff them out before they have a chance to develop. As Jesus said, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10, amp). One of the ways the thief (Satan) steals, kills, and destroys is through deceitful words. No wonder, then, that the tongue has the power of life and death.”In the short story of his childhood, I saw reflections of the insecurities caused by lack of positive affirmation throughout his childhood. When he shares the experience of planting a rose garden, and his father walking by—not saying anything nice about what a great job he had done, but rather, telling him that they were crooked, I visualize some rough years of a boy turning into a man—learning about his own worth and value, despite family dysfunction. When he speaks about the woundedness he caused his own children, by not being able to give them what he never received, I see a man struggling with regret, but a man who has grown spiritually and emotionally—enough to recognize that each of us are crying out in our own way for validation from others; each of us looking for reassurance that we are worthwhile, worthy, that our presence in the world matters.This is a good book because it is written from the deep pain, hardship, growth, and healing of an introspective life. When someone is teaching from an emotional, experiential level, there is a greater connection for his/her reader.5 stars.
