“His thoughts of blessing include not only being blessed but by becoming a blessing to others by letting go of selfishness, and to be guided instead, by love for others…Fans of Michael W. Smith will want a copy, and those who may feel the need for an infusion of graceful words that call to a less selfish life.”—Amazon.com
“In ‘What I Learned From a Simple Blessing’ musician Michael W. Smith explains how words of blessing spoken over others can be hugely impactful. The amazing truth is that our simple words combined with God’s grace and power can breathe new life and hope into hurting people desperate to receive a blessing.”- Walk Thru the Bible Ministries
“Michael W. Smith’s latest book is a true tour de force. It showcases the power of an ordinary prayer and how it can help anybody in a time of great need, whether it’s during a natural disaster or a time of separation/divorce or other relevant scenarios. “-suite101.com
