The Power of a Parent's Blessing: See Your Children Prosper and Fulfill Their Destinies in Christ

I have read several books on this topic but this one is quite unique in that Craig Hill digs into the Jewish history of blessing children. He delves deep into the scriptural promises of blessing and the warnings of cursing. He calls to account each parent - we are either speaking the blessings of God into our children's lives and thereby liberating them or we are speaking curses into their lives thereby opening the doors for satanic/demonic attachment, attack and ultimate bondage.

I absolutely enjoyed reading the 7 critical times of blessing! In fact I had to smile as we are pregnant for the 7th time. each of our children was prayed for and wanted - we were not supposed to be able to have even one child and though we lost our 5th child due to a problem during pregnancy - I know each one was blessed at conception. However, this time my husband said that he has been convicted that a child needs to hear the blessings in God's word spoken over them at birth - this book mentions this. I took it immediately and showed it to my husband.

I also appreciate the fact that Craig Hill addresses the importance of a covenant marriage upon conception. Though I do know great and Godly people born outside of marriage as a Pastor's wife I know first hand that many of these people struggled with attacks from the enemy because of this and even struggled with understanding God's design for marriage. I know that this topic of co-habitation and sex outside of marriage is unpopular in todays society where such action are considered normal and okay. So in this light - Hill gently but firmly exposes the dangers in this. He uses scripture to back up this stance and shows that the child is born open to an attack of the enemy. Some would argue that the couple was in love at the time - however I would argue that love is enduring and lasts even through a storm and trial - it is not short lived and walked away from.

Hill gives practical steps in blessings and breaking curses through repentance of past sins. This book is packed with powerful truths and would be a benefit and blessing to all families.

Regardless of the age of your children, every parent should read this book. God has so much to tell us that we do not learn in church!

I love the book! I think that every parent should read this book! Very helpful to help raise your children with!

I absolutely love this book! This is the first self help book that really helps! Buy it you will be blessed!

I recommend this book for every parent and grandparent. I agree with most of the material written except for children being covered from demonic spirit s that are born within marriage. I know too many adulters and narcissistic people born within marriage covenant and I know God fearing, faithful men and women of God born out of wedlock out of love. Other than that one disagreement I believe this book can change not just this generation but the generation before us. I AM GOING TO INVEST IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS BY GIVING OTHER FAMILIES THIS BOOK.

The principles to bless you child(ren) at specific times and ways in their journey is powerful
However many of us many not have or have had two supportive emotionally and spiritually healthy parents
this concept and practice could be even more applicable perhaps to address when that is the case. Also he recommends the father discuss puberty and sexuality with the son (that makes sense) or daughter, I can tell you it would have been very upsetting/intruding/crossing boundaries if my dad introduced the specifics of periods and such with me, not that a dad can't talk at all about any sexual topics with a daughter, but I think moms and daughters are meant for that, if you don't have a mom in your family, perhaps another trusted woman or family member, something a caring woman could help a daughter with if at all possible. Just putting that out there.

Even if you do not have children this is a must read because you were someone's child.
As a parent, you hold the keys to your children's future, their self esteem and level of hope and joy. Every parent should be presented with a copy of this book when leaving the hospital with an infant.
This book contains powerful insight into the power of the relationship between a parent and a child. Always remember besides your Earthly parents you have a Heavenly Father who loves you and wants to bless you as well.

If you have ever had it on your heart to pray a blessing over your children then this is the book for you, you will be so happy and your children blessed by this book, I love what it said, it tells you how to impart the blessings and why.
