Champions for Life: The Power of a Father's Blessing

Description

Retired NFL player, founder of Champions for Life and one of the most respected ministers in the country, shares his story. "I believe Champions for Life is doing very effective work bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to many lost men and women throughout America." - Billy Graham Bill Glass, founder of Champions for Life, one of the most respected ministries in the country, shares the powerful message he has been preaching for decades: the most important thing a father can do is to bless his child. Through his personal stories and teachings, Glass shows all parents how a blessing can give children the inspiration, reassurance and confidence to live life to their fullest potential. Bestowing a blessing requires simply a gentle touch, a loving hug and/or a powerful verbal message of unconditional love. Glass has learned through the work of his ministry that we live in a time when the youth of America suffer from a lack of positive mentors - the result is broken families, divorce at epidemic rates, rampant drug and alcohol abuse, overfilled jails and prisons, and thousands of at-risk youth. In Champions for Life, readers will learn the solution to many of these problems begins in the home and is the cornerstone to our children's development and strength of character for our future leaders. The most basic family building block is a parent's ability to give a blessing and Glass shows readers how doing this will change the lives of their children, as well as their own.

Bill Glass, a former starter for the Cleveland Browns, helped lead his team to three division titles between 1965 and 1968.
