The Lord Bless You brought me great joy. It is written in a beautiful, flowing and accessible manner that immediately put me at ease. Hallelujah! It isnt religious! Its revelatory and it will also give you joy and purpose when you discover that our God is loving and kind and generous and longs to completely bless His peopleYOU!
Kathie Lee Gifford, entertainer, author and imperfect follower of Jesus
A fun read. Terry Smith unpacks the meaning of three powerful words that launch Gods purpose of human flourishing. The Lord Bless You takes us on a devotional journey into Gods attitude toward our world and the people who live in it, and how we can partner with God to experience that purposea life of blessing!
A. R. Bernard, pastor, Christian Cultural Center, New York
The Lord Bless You is like a notification that unexpectedly appears on the home screen of your phone reminding you of something you would have easily overlooked. Of all the intentions that God has for those made in His image, its as if we get amnesia when it comes to His great desire to bless us. This is a deeply meaningful book everyone should readit is biblically saturated with evidence that will make us hear what the Lord wants to do even when we havent sneezed.
Wayne Francis, pastor, Life Church New York; co-author, God and Race: A Guide for Moving Beyond Black Fists and White Knuckles
At a time when we desperately need it, Terry Smith has unwrapped and put the spotlight on the life-changing, eternal power of blessing. This fresh, inspiring 28-day journey teaches us how to receive blessing, give blessing, create an environment of blessing and leave a legacy of blessing!
Kevin Gerald, pastor, Champions Centre; author, Naked and Unafraid: 5 Keys to Abandon Smallness , Overcome Criticism, and Be All You Are Meant to Be
Pastor Terry does it again! This book is inspirational and aspirational as it takes you through a 28-day journey of what it really means to be blessed by God as well as what it means to be a true blessing to others. Thank you, Terry, for being a blessing to our members at TLCC.

An Introduction
Have you ever wondered why people say the words bless you when someone near them sneezes? In my part of the world, you could be walking by a stranger in Central Park in New York City, be surrounded by rabid fans watching a baseball game at Yankee Stadium or be jammed in a subway car full of harried commuters, but if you sneeze, strangers, fans or commuters will all respond immediately with a loud, Bless you! It is a nice gesture, but where did this bless-you thing come from?
Nearly every culture in the world has some way of wishing sneezers well. The phrase God bless you was enshrined by an edict of Pope Gregory the Great all the way back in AD 600. An epidemic of the Bubonic Plague was spreading rampantly, and sneezing was an obvious symptom of this dreaded, often fatal, sickness. So Gregory ordered everyone within earshot of a sneeze to immediately utter a prayer asking God to save the person from the plague: God bless you.
I like the idea that when a person manifests a symptom of illness, those around them offer a prayer: The Lord bless you. May He deliver you from sickness and bring you health.
Odd as it may seem, the phrase bless you captures the heart of God for people in ways both cosmically large and day-to-day-detail small. The very first description in Scripture of Gods relationship with the people He made is, God blessed them. I imagine God standing in the Garden passionately declaring His unconditional love to them, telling them how much He valued them and swearing to do good to them and to help them do good in this world.
