(More customer reviews)Michael W. Smith's latest is short and an easy read. Not real deep but has some good insights.
He encourages us to remember that the only blessing that brings real peace is God's "blessing of character." (pg.15) That true blessings don't come from stuff, but from "submitting one's self to God." (pg.33)
Chapter 4, THE PRAYER FOR PERSONAL HOLINESS, is maybe the best in the entire book. The section on how we unwittingly sometimes pray for adversity is excellent. (pg.103-104)
The message of the book is simple.. be a blessing to others and don't live a selfish life. A message always worth remembering and putting into practice.

Something wonderful and life-changing has been happening at Michael W. Smith's concerts. Recently he began closing the evening with a simple prayer of blessing woven from Scripture. The response has been overwhelming. The emails and letters of testimony are like nothing he has ever experienced in his 25 years of ministry. Far from being a 'magical' formula for extracting wealth and possessions from God, he has discovered that God's blessings are measured more by the flourishing of character in adversity than by the flourishing of stuff. The amazing result of God's true blessing is overflowing joy and peace. Unfortunately, many are robbed of the promise of blessing because they seek to be blessed more than to bless others. This beautiful work, written with writer Thomas Williams, will inspire readers to examine their hearts and learn to experience God's blessing as they seek to bless others, thus discovering the secret to drawing near to the heart of God.
