Review

Every night, as we tuck our six children into bed, we are asked, 'Can I have my blessing now?' As our babies grow up into young adults, they are continually reminded by their family blessing that they are loved by God, delighted in by their parents, and have a rich future awaiting them as followers of Christ. The tradition of a 'Family Blessing' as Rolf shares in this book, has become a priceless and vital part of our daily lives. --Kirk and Chelsea Cameron - Co-stars of the nationally syndicated hit, Growing Pains --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

With its roots in ancient Jewish family life, the biblical practice of pronouncing a blessing on one's children is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to help our offspring know and love God. This is a practical guide to the art of blessing. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing, July 27, 2009

By	J. Boldog "Chasnpar" (Crystal Lake, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Family Blessing (Hardcover)

I read this book on a plane from Florida to Chicago, and it had an immediate impact on my family. I immediately went home and prayed with my kids the blessing that Rolf prayed over his children. After a few nights, my children started to ask me to bless them each night. With all the surrounds our children, we need to be praying over them daily. The book is very easy to read, and everything is laid out in a way that makes sense. I am so glad that I read this book, and I look forward to seeing how it changes the lives of my children. Dont miss out on this great opportunity to bless your family.

This review is from: The Family Blessing (Paperback)

"A simple parental act that will help your children feel loved and cherished" says the cover of "The Family Blessing" by Rolf Garborg.

The book deserves to be read by every parent. Garborg tells how through prayer, parents can improve and ensure their relationship with children of almost any age, even teens or adult "kids."

This is practical religion at its best. And after reading it, you might even want to buy a second copy to give to a friend, relative, or neighbor. It's that good!
