The Opposite Side of the Gossip Coin

I like to say that Sam Crabtree's book Practicing Affirmation is the opposite side of the coin from Resisting Gossip. I read it at just the right time when I was doing my research, and I was very helped to think deeply about what we should be saying when we aren't sharing sinful gossip.

Do you need some ideas for practicing affirmation?

FamilyLife has posted an article by Sam Crabtree on 20 Ideas for Encouraging Others (an excerpt from the book), and every one of them is very good.
