Practicing Affirmation
God-Centered Praise of Those Who Are Not God
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.
