Books like Silver Boxes: The Gift of Encouragement

This book was first introduced to my household when I was a teenager. My father was in Amway at the time, and this was on the recommended reading list.Although this is written by a Christian author and my father wasn't a Christian, he loved this book. He was a natural encourager. When my father died suddenly in a road accident at age 49, we decided to surround him with silver boxes - symbols of the gift of encouragement. It was a few years later when I entered into a relationship with God through His Son, that I picked this book up and read it. The author's passion for encouraging others, and the stories she shared of how words of encouragement can impact people's lives inspired me. Littauer's contagious passion made me see just how powerful a few words of encouragement can mean to a person.The book is based on the scripture Ephesians 4:29:Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.I have just started reading it again, to remind myself how the simple gift of encouragement can be like giving someone a silver box with a pretty bow on top.http://www.princesswarriorlessons.com...
