The Book of Blessings

God is the Author of all blessings. As we study His Word, many examples become evident. Once upon a time, blessings were spoken in the home on a daily basis. But somehow, this practice has waned throughout the 2,000 year history of the Church. The responsibility now belongs almost exclusively to the clergy.

The Book of Blessings reintroduces this observance to impact others with the language of God. As we study and restore the priestly duty of blessing by all believers, we will discover the profound influence it can have on our families, our congregations, and our society.


What People are Saying

"We all need to continually line our thinking up with God's plumb line of truth. The Book of Blessings has grouped scriptures into specific themes in a brilliant and powerful way to provide the plumb line we need. It builds up, encourages, strengthens and transforms. If you are discouraged or just need a blessing, pull this little book out and brace yourself for a life changing God encounter!" - Kirk & Deby Dearman, worship leaders and songwriters, Nashville, TN



The Power of God's Word

Excerpted from "Ten Basic Steps to Christian Maturity" by Campus Crusade for Christ, International

In the Epistle to the Hebrews, Paul records: "The word of God is living and active. Sharper than any two edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." (4:12)

God's holy inspired Word has several characteristics that guarantee powerful results. First, it is infused with the power of the Holy Spirit. It has been said that a Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to a person who isn't. That is because God's Word is energetic and active, speaking to today's world and our own personal needs and circumstances.

Second, God's word is truth. It awakens our conscience. With the power to reach into the private corners of our hearts, the Word bares our motives and secret feelings and reveals our hidden longings.

Third, God's Word discerns our true character. It exposes the weakness in our attitudes and conduct, enabling us to correct ourselves by the power of His Holy Spirit.
