Alan Wright - The Power to Bless: How to Speak Life and Empower the People You Love

Want to be blessed? Many of us believe if we work hard and succeed, we will be. But my friend Alan Wright explains how thats totally backwards! The blessing isnt a reward for productivity but the fuel for it. This book will not only inspire you but give practical instructions to speak a blessing over others. I recommend it!

What a wonderful and refreshing book! Not only will this book offer a practical and powerful way to give blessing to others, it will bless you. If youve ever struggled with shame, pretense, loneliness, or drift (and I do), get ready to be blessed and to bless others.

Im thrilled that Alan Wright is putting this great truth of blessing in the context of the gospel. Understanding the privilege were given to put words to the truth of Jesuss finished work is so life-giving. We are blessed to be able to bless.

In a season when so many people crave life-giving words, Alans book is a call to speak blessing and watch as lives change. We are meant to give blessings, not just receive them, so lets begin speaking the words the world needs to hear.

Every spouse, parent, teacher, boss, and coach needs to read this book. Yes, hurt people may hurt people, but Pastor Alan brilliantly shows us how blessed people bless peopleby the transforming power of the gospel!

Stu Epperson Jr. , author of Last Words of Jesus ; president and host, The Truth Network

In the Bible theres a hidden principle that can be called blessing by association, which is the reality of being verbally, prayerfully, and practically charged by others to succeed. It is far more powerful than merely wishing someone well. Pastor Alan unlocks this divine asset. Just as physical wealth or poverty is transferred from one generation to the next, spoken blessings can also transfer spiritual wealth to the next generation!

Alan is a creative communicator and storyteller for whom words are like paint colors on an artists brush. Hes insightful, funny, tender, and deep. This book fed my brain and my heart. Sometimes I found myself intellectually delighted while simultaneously tearing up. Alan helps us see and feel the power of blessing.

David Dwight , senior pastor, Hope Church, Richmond, VA; author of Start Here

With so many people living through an epidemic of inferiority, one caused by a secular view of self instead of a biblical one, The Power to Bless solidifies the foundation on which we ought to stand. Alan Wright has given us an inspiring, accessible, and practical work to help us change our approach both to self and to others.

If we can only learn to bless and empower others as this book teaches, we will see real changes happening in homes, churches, and the lives of those we love.
