Editorial Reviews

Review

""This is a book I can highly recommend. It is a book of silent action. It is something we can all do, and do it all the time (when we remember). So often we have to be reminded, and this book can remind us."


Product Description

A down-to-earth and deeply inspiring work of applied spirituality, this book explores the history and practice of the act of blessing. To bless means to wish, unconditionally, for total, unrestricted good for others, from the deepest wellspring in the innermost chamber of one's heart. This book provides tools and information that enable people to ground their spiritual practice in everyday life, in the street, the workplace, the kitchen, the supermarket, everywhere. Discussed are the law of positive expectations, the law of unconditional love, and blessing as a spiritual bath. Practiced daily, the blessings provided will foster a deep and lasting inner calm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reading This Book is a Blessing, March 8, 2007
By Big Raff (Schaumburg, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This book is wonderful. I recommend it to everyone regardless of religious persuasion. If each person could put in to practice the ideas in this book, it could transform society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blessing made practical, April 24, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love this book! As soon as I finished it, I started to read it again. In practicing blessing in the way the author explains it, I've seen my own (justifiable) anger and animosity towards people who have hurt me or damaged my life melt away.

I don't think the author means that we shouldn't carry through if some evil needs to be addressed, but it makes it possible to do so objectively and without hate.

The key, in my thought, is that this book made me see that I have to put my spiritual convictions into practice all the time and toward everyone...I can't get away with just praying in a general sense and then going about my day and continuing to feel contentious towards someone, even when merited.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing, August 16, 2006
As soon as I finished reading this book, I started reading it again. It impresses me as having the capacity to change one's life for the better - to think about others in a much more loving and forgiving way.
