Kerstin Hack & Rosemarie Stresemann 
The Power of Blessing 
Receiving and giving power for life

‚I will bless you… and you will be a blessing to others.‘ – God to Abraham

People proclaim blessing over others all the time – through words and gestures. People long for blessing, because blessing has power to strengthen and change life. This quadro shows what blessing is and what it does through the Bible and concrete examples. In addition, it explains and shows how you can receive blessing and pass it along to others.

Questions and behavior suggestions help you to practically implement the things you’ve read. The quadro inspires and accompanies you in your learning process with four motivations per day: a concise quote, stimulating food for thought, a provocative question and a practical stimulus.

Ideal for all those who would like to experience blessing and pass it along to others.
