His New York Times phenomenon The Prayer of Jabez changed how millions pray. Now Bruce Wilkinson wants to change what they do next. Anyone can do a good deed, but some good works can only happen by an act of God. Around the world these acts are called miracles–not that even religious people expect to see one any time soon. But what would happen if millions of ordinary people walked out each morning expecting God to deliver a miracle through them to a person in need? You Were Born for This starts with the dramatic premise that everyone at all times is in need of a miracle, and that God is ready to meet those needs supernaturally through ordinary people who are willing to learn the "protocol of heaven." In the straightforward, story-driven, highly motivating style for which he is known, Wilkinson describes how anyone can be a 'Delivery Guy' from heaven in such universally significant arenas of life as finances, practical help, relationships, purpose and spiritual growth. You Were Born for This will change how you see your world and show you what you can expect God to do through you to meet real needs. You will master seven simple tools of service, and come to say with confidence, "I want to deliver a supernatural gift from God to someone in need today–and I expect to!"

Take a moment to appreciate life's little blessings. When morning comes, I rise from bed and shake the sleepies from my head. Before I'm even getting dressed, I count the ways that I am blessed. This book of blessings follows a young child from morning to night, celebrating the simple and sweet things to be thankful for in life: ten little fingers, ten little toes, a playground to share, drums to beat, a comfortable chair, a favourite book, and family to love. With soothing rhymes and cozy illustrations, this book is the perfect way to begin or end your child's day.

From the author of the bestselling Anam Cara comes a beautiful collection of blessings to help readers through both the everyday and the extraordinary events of their lives. John O’Donohue, Irish teacher and poet, has been widely praised for his gift of drawing on Celtic spiritual traditions to create words of inspiration and wisdom for today. In To Bless the Space Between Us, his compelling blend of elegant, poetic language and spiritual insight offers readers comfort and encouragement on their journeys through life. O’Donohue looks at life’s thresholds—getting married, having children, starting a new job—and offers invaluable guidelines for making the transition from a known, familiar world into a new, unmapped territory. Most profoundly, however, O’Donohue explains “blessing” as a way of life, as a lens through which the whole world is transformed. O’Donohue awakens readers to timeless truths and shows the power they have to answer contemporary dilemmas and ease us through periods of change.

Born Blessed includes 280 days of decrees and declarations for parents to pray over their child. Every declaration is based on scripture. Read it. Declare it. Meditate on it. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. — Job 22:28 KJV Everyone is created in the image and likeness of God. Parents want to give their children the best of everything. They will give them the best education but often forget that God’s Blessing IS the best of everything. This book is for expecting mothers and everyone who desires to bless their children or bless themselves. It is especially for women who want, from day one of their pregnancy, to bless their children and declare God’s Word over them. This book is also for • expecting mothers who cannot wait until their baby is born. • expecting mothers who want to be pregnant, but they do not know what will happen next. • expecting mothers who live in fear about their unborn baby. • expecting mothers who do not want to be pregnant. • women who planned their pregnancy. • women who did not plan their pregnancy. • fathers. • grandparents. • everyone who was never blessed by their parents but wants to receive this blessing on themselves. No matter the circumstances, God gives mothers and fathers authority over their children. They even have authority before a child is born. They can change their children’s lives by beginning each day with one declaration. Do not wait for tomorrow. Start declaring blessings on your child today. Remember Neither in my youth, nor now in old age have I seen the righteous one abandoned or his offspring begging for bread. — Psalm 37:25 NAB

The Power of the Prophetic Blessing offers a seldom-heard message of encouragement and blessing for today and for generations to come.
