The God Who Blesses: 50 Reflections on Blessings and Blessedness

The God Who Blesses: 50 Reflections on Blessing and Blessedness is a fresh, imaginative look at a concept that is paradoxically familiar yet also little understood by Christians. Written for the thoughtful lay person, The God Who Blesses explores the who, what, where, when, why and how of blessings, emphasizing their rootedness in God's grace. Included are various case studies of blessing in Scripture. The book also addresses how we trivialize the concept of blessing, when we say things like "bless my cotton socks."

Until now, the few books on blessing have taken a scholarly or academic approach.The God Who Blesses instead offers an accessible approach to an important but largely unexamined aspect of our faith.
