Through his ministry, Champions for Life, Bill Glass teaches the healing power of a father's blessing in cities, congregations, prisons and schools across America. His message is simple: a father's blessing can give a child the inspiration, reassurance and confidence to live life to its fullest potential. Glass defines a blessing as a gentle touch, a loving hug and a powerful verbal message of unconditional love. Bill Glass' father was a devout Christian, a father and a hero to Bill as a boy. Bill credits his phenomenal success in life as a professional football player, founder of the ministry, Champions for Life, and his own role as a successful father to his three children to the blessing his father gave him. Champions for Life is Bill's story in which he shares with readers his own wisdom and his tales from raising his children, his father's inspiring parenting stories and the role a blessing can play in one's life. By retelling his experiences as a father and son, Glass shares the wisdom of Christ and brings it into the homes of every family. Nothing is more rewarding to the giver and the receiver than the amazing, affirming results of a blessing. Glass encourages fathers to reach out to their families, sons and daughters with expressions of love and support. In giving a blessing, we are guided toward our destiny and are able to support our children in living theirs. Key Features Foreword from Billy Graham.
