How to Be Blessed and Highly Favored is full of God’s unchanging truth and Michelle’s real-world wisdom, wrapped around the story of one of the ‘good girls’ of the Mary, the mother of Jesus. Trust me…you will be blessed!” –Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible Prepare to crawl into God’s lap and experience His highest blessings as your own. A popular phrase often heard after inquiring about someone’s welfare is the enthusiastic response, “Blessed and highly favored!” Yet many of us–even those who use this expression readily–don’t really lead a lifestyle that reflects God’s blessings. It’s not that such blessings aren’t ours to receive; the Bible clearly teaches that it is the Father’ s perfect will to give us the kingdom. The problem is that we don’t know how to fully access His generous gifts. What does God require of those He chooses to use and bless? Join Michelle McKinney Hammond as she takes a fresh, spirited look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, and shows us how • appeal to God’s heart • remain sensitive to His voice • believe Him for the impossible • submit to and rest in His plan • live before Him with a servant’s heart Get Ready to Receive God’s Extra-Dimensional Blessings!
