Before turning to Jesus, author John Trent harbored resentment and hatred toward his alcoholic father for years. After he gave his life to Christ, John forgave his father and realized that he was given the same choice as his father: to bless or withhold blessing from his own family. Since then, John has shown millions of families how to break the cycle of rejection and bless one another. What are the 5 Elements of the Blessing? But what exactly does it mean to give a blessing?
