"Good basic principles but nothing earth shattering"
This book was an okay read, but I felt like I could have gotten the same information out of a short article. The author used lots of storytelling and reciting of scripture to enforce the elements of the blessing, that to me didn't add much. I was hoping to learn something from the book, but honestly don't feel like I took anything new away from it.
"LIFE CHANGING!!!! VERY PRACTICAL"
As a father of four, I believe that this book has given me a lot of insights to be a blessing for my family. The presentation couldn't be better. I am so glad that I got this book.
