Blessing Made Simple

Blessing — the power of blessing others in Jesus' name, as God blessed Abraham (Genesis 12:2-3; Numbers 6:24-26).

About this book:
Words are never just words. God has given you the power of blessing, and He wants you to use it on purpose. Blessing Made Simple is a Bible-first guide to speaking God's good over your children, your family, your church, your neighbors, and even your enemies — in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of God the Father. Unashamedly Trinitarian: every chapter opens with Scripture and ends with one clear action step.
