This is a terrific book to read if you have children. I was amazed how blessing my children would have such an impact on their lives. It is more that just approval and ties blessings of the Old Testament into how it relates to us today. Deals with not getting blessings from your parents and how to change the cycle. Great read!

Read this book several years ago and enjoyed reading it again. Reminded me of the concept of the blessing regarding relationships and how important they are. Strongly recommended especially for parents.

I have just reread the first edition of the book and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read it!

A very good book that I highly recommend!
