It's painful to think on what we've all lost in John's passing, but this book is a tremendous gift that he has left behind for us. The blessings are beautiful in themselves, but what I most appreciated about the book is the way he explains "blessing", both in the introduction and in the essay at the end of the book. Even without the particular words of blessing, these explanations open a powerful view of the world and our relation to one another.
This is definitely a book to read, re-read, and to treasure always. I guarantee it will be something you'll refer to many times through-out your life. |
