God doesn't bless us to raise our standard of living. God blesses us to raise our standard of giving, and that's where true joy is found. The New York Times bestselling author of Chase the Lion challenges us not to settle for half of what God offers when it comes to blessings—we are BLESSED to BLESS. His discovery started with a simple experiment. Whenever Batterson received a blessing, he would give a similar blessing away. If someone paid him a compliment or gave him a gift or went out of their way to help him, he would return the favor by doing something similar for someone else. We flip the blessing by blessing others in the way God has blessed us. That’s how the blessing becomes a double blessing. It turns giving into a game—one we can’t win because God will always outgive us! It’s an ancient truth found within the Abrahamic covenant: “I will bless you . . . and you will be a blessing.” In other words, we are blessed to bless. The first blessing is receiving, but it doesn’t end there. The second blessing is giving it away! That’s the double blessing. And that’s where double joy is found. In a day and age where the idea of blessing has been reduced to a hashtag (#blessed), Batterson challenges readers to pursue true, God-glorifying blessing and experience an exponential impact by participating in the double blessing. Don’t settle for half of what God offers. Discover how you can both get it and give it . . . in Double Blessing.

Handel Lloyd Andrews was born in Georgetown, British Guiana, the eldest of three children of Lloyd Joseph Augustus Andrews and Ruth Maude Andrews. He started following Jesus from an early age and was a roadside preacher in his early teens. He is a devout, bible-believing Christian and a keen student of bible history and Christian theology. As a student of Logic, Ancient philosophy and Ethics, he recognizes that his faith in God cannot be verified, since faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Like Lord Tennyson, he cries, Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove; He ministers the word at every opportunity and remembers the advice of 1 Pater 3:15, Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. This book is a testimony of his faith. Mr. Andrews holds a B.A. (Honours) in History and an M.A. in English from York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For 9 years, he wrote a religious column, with the pseudonym Bro. Libird,for a prestigious New York newspaper. His last literary endeavour was Guyanas Turbulent Journey to Independence and Beyond, a politi cal and social history of his native land.

This book is simple, informative, and transformative all at once. Williams has once again used his exquisite insightfulness to transcend many of the blockades and excuses often used to avoid taking the responsibility and courage necessary for individuals to first look deeply, earnestly and honestly at “self,” before looking outward at others when seeking to effect lasting and meaningful change. His belief that the first and most significant step to our long journey outward always begins with the first truthful step inward is evident throughout this writing. While each teaching is independent of the ones to follow or precede it, each of them is powerful and highly applicable as a stand-alone self-improvement tool. If growing yourself (and not the entire world) is your objective, then this is the book for you. No one, Williams says, changes the world for the better until he or she first concedes that effective change must begin with self and work outward from there. It is obvious that this book is intended to serve as a self-paced guide and companion along the readers’ growth route, and not merely as a tool of instruction to be read, laid aside, and forgotten.
