Produktbeschreibung
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. Endorsement:When working alongside youth and volunteers, I frequently find myself using the word bless-but what do I really mean? In his approachable work, Dr. Jackson took me on a journey to find a more accurate and thoughtful understanding and application of blessing, one that both protects me from a superstitious, compulsive, or guilt-based use, and brings me closer to a reverent, flourishing, and dynamic praxis. In doing so, he has allowed me to more fully embrace God's creativity and provision, prompting me to ask what I can do in response and how I can share this with others in my life-for which I am deeply grateful.%Erik Brucker, Area Director, Young Life International Central London, England About the authorGordon S.
