Description

It takes feeling encouraged in spirit to share that encouragement with others.

Our world is experiencing a drought of encouraging words, uplifting examples, and genuine expressions of appreciation. Why is it that each of us has such a deep need for encouragement, and yet can find so little of it Part of the problem is that so few people feel encouraged in their own spirits, and its difficult to share something we dont feel ourselves.

In Sharing the Gift of Encouragement, Dr. Charles Stanley focuses on several key aspects of encouragement, including giving and receiving it and encountering it in the Scriptures. He also teaches on the three things in which encouragement is rooted: Gods love, dignity, and respect.

With over 1 million copies sold, theCharles F. Stanley Bible Study Seriesis a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action.

Each study draws on Dr. Stanleys many years of teaching the guiding principles found in Gods Word, showing how we can apply them in practical ways to every situation we face.

Each of the ten lessons includes:

• A brief look at what is covered in the lesson.
• A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic of the lesson.
• Application and Bible study questions based on the key points.
• Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow.
