Given (Paperback)

Begin to Live
We all have a deep ache to be blessed by God and to be a blessing. How do we bless those we love? How do we bless our enemies? How do we speak blessing into—and out of—pain and suffering? How do we keep the blessings we speak in sync with God’s will?

Living overseas, where blessing flowed freely through everyday conversations, Tina Boesch realized she had never learned its language. As you journey with Tina across countries, cultures, and centuries of church history, you’ll expand your understanding of a word that is ripe with significance.

Includes a reading and reflection guide that will equip you with tangible ways to begin the practice of giving yourself to others as a blessing.

Tina Boesch is a writer, an editor, and a designer and serves as an advocate for Baptist Global Response. She earned an MA in theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she studied Christianity and culture. She has lived in seven countries on three continents. For fourteen years, Tina, her husband, and their three children called Istanbul, Turkey, home. They currently reside in Louisiana.
