Description
Book Synopsis In 52 short chapters, Bless–ed shows us the gifts God has given us, and how we can share them with our friends
When we think about blessings, we often think about material gifts that God has provided. These are indeed things to be grateful for, but these are things that God has given to all people – what are the additional blessings we receive because we are his?
Have you given thought to the knowledge that you have a forgiven past, a promising present and a certain, glorious future? Have you thanked God for giving you a proper view of health, balanced emotions and a fearless intellectual life?
With one chapter for every week of the year, Larry Dixon looks at a different blessing that we have in our Christian life. He explains the blessing, gives Bible passages to examine, encourages us to take action with three action points, and also provides a guide for praying for unsaved friends to also know this blessing.
Trade ReviewThis book will give you joy in your faith and, at the same time, give you a passion to see others get the t–shirt and to join you in the dance.
-- Steve Brown (Founder and Bible Teacher, Key Life Network, author, ‘Laughter and Lament: The Radical Freedom of Joy and Sorrow’)
Larry’s writing is both doctrinal and practical; it’s convicting and encouraging. If you’re like me, you won’t be able to wait and read only one chapter per week; you’ll want to read the whole book much more quickly than that because of its edifying and equipping contents.
-- George W. Murray (Former President & Chancellor of Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina)
Using profound quotes, gentle humor, extensive biblical passages, along with recommended readings and suggestions for prayer, these readings will not only be a strong reminder of what we have, but if lived out will make your Christianity contagious to those without Christ.
-- Allan McKechnie (Professor Emeritus Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina)
Here is good book to use for devotions that will stimulate the head, heart, and hands and feet!
-- Robert A. Peterson (Theologian, editor, and co–author, ‘Jesus In Prophecy: How Christ’s Life Fulfills Biblical Predictions’)
The readings are short, which is great for people like me with a short attention span. However, the content is theologically rich. Prepare to be Bless–ed!
-- Jeff Philpott (Sandhills Community Church, Columbia, South Carolina)
This book is very helpful for Christians who like to please God in their daily activities – especially for those who have the burden to reach their lost friends.
-- Mulugeta Ashagre Endeshaw (East African Director of T–NET International, Former General Secretary, Ethiopian Christian Brethren Church)
Filled with many little anecdotes, Larry’s writings constantly refer to the text of scripture as a basis for the many blessings. Larry’s book is based on sound biblical principles and careful use of the text of scripture.
-- Philip Boom (President of Emmaus Bible College, Dubuque, Iowa)
