  • According
  • to
  • Drs.
  • Larry
  • Crabb
  • and
  • Dan
  • Allender,
  • encouragement
  • is
  • more
  • than
  • a
  • compliment
  • or
  • a
  • pat
  • on
  • the
  • back.
  • It's
  • a
  • skill
  • that
  • can
  • be
  • mastered
  • by
  • anyone.
  • Crabb
  • and
  • Allender
  • ask:
  • "What
  • must
  • we
  • know
  • in
  • order
  • to
  • fulfill
  • the
  • biblical
  • exhortation
  • to
  • 'encourage
  • one
  • another?'"
  • Encouragement
  • provides
  • the
  • answer.Part
  • one
  • deals
  • with
  • understanding
  • encouragement,
  • and
  • part
  • two
  • explores
  • the
  • process
  • of
  • encouragement,
  • including
  • such
  • practical
  • how-tos
  • as
  • developing
  • a
  • careful
  • selection
  • of
  • encouraging
  • words;
  • cultivating
  • active
  • listening
  • skills;
  • using
  • biblical
  • fellowship
  • to
  • move
  • beyond
  • superficial
  • smiles
  • and
  • shallow
  • greetings;
  • and
  • recognizing
  • subtle
  • opportunities
  • for
  • encouragement.Without
  • the
  • encouragement
  • of
  • a
  • caring
  • community,
  • biblical
  • truth
  • taught
  • in
  • church
  • tends
  • to
  • just
  • thicken
  • people's
  • defense
  • layers.
  • But
  • authenticity,
  • freedom,
  • and
  • greater
  • love
  • for
  • God
  • and
  • others
  • are
  • the
  • fruit
  • of
  • encouragement,
  • and
  • evidence
  • of
  • the
  • tremendous
  • power
  • God
  • invests
  • in
  • individuals
  • who
  • practice it.
