The Atacama Desert in Chili is known as one of the driest places on earth. A few years ago, the desert experienced 14 years’ worth of rain in one day. That sounds bigger than it was. It was less than an inch of rain, barely enough to make the ground wet. Imagine those little rain drops hitting hard, cracked ground. Most people wouldn’t think it was enough rain to make a difference. But it did. A little while later the desert produced an explosion of color. The seeds had been there all the time. They were waiting for just a little water to bring forth life and beauty.

What may seem like a few simple words can bring hope and healing to very dry ground in yourself and others. That is what blessing the spirit is all about. As you bless your spirit and the spirit of others, you are nourishing what God has already planted deep inside. This book contains 50 blessings of hope and healing for all of life.

As you read this book, be blessed as you honor all that God put in you. Allow God to do a deep work in you so that there is less struggle inside you between your spirit, soul, and body. Then you will be ready to bless others, offering refreshing words of hope and healing for their dry and barren places.
