A family book: Awakening the Blessings in each of us

This wonderful book has been a retreat for me to remind myself of the blessings in every moment of my life. My family, including my 2 young children, gather to read The Blessings Already Are together. The book brings us peace. It helps us to calm and refocus ourselves. Recently I saw my 10 year old reach for the book when she was upset and read one of the blessings. She looked up and smiled, much more at peace with herself. John has a magical way of awakening the place in each of us that is looking for the blessing, the good, the wonder in our lives. In this way it helps to heal the pains and hurts and encourages us to rejoice in the blessings of who we are. This book is a wonderful gift. It is a gift that is renewed each time it is opened. It is a gift to the Heart and the Soul.

A Book to Heal the Heart and Bless the Soul

The Blessings Already Are is a book that reaches to those beautiful places inside me that know the truth of who I truly am. It reminds me, through the poetry of written blessing statements, that healing of the heart is always available, that my soul is joyful, and in the most meaningful way that all is right in the universe. I have never read a book quite like this one. It is not only visually beautiful, it is pure inspiration. I am sending the book to friends who are experinecing challenges in their lives right now, for upliftment, healing, and as a reminder that we are all loved.

Inspiring, Uplifting and Enjoyable

I am grateful to have such an inspiring, uplifing and enjoyable book. I appreciate the information of the first chapter entitled "The Blessing Of It All" which identifies and explains the 10 blessings- loving, caring, sharing, health, wealth, happiness, abundance, prosperity, riches and touching. I am learning in new ways how each blessing, starting with loving, emerges from the previous one - like links in a chain. Of the 12 chapters, each includes Blessings of a specific focus, such as "A Blessing of Upliftment", "The Blessing of Seeing The Good In All Things", "A Blessing Of Simplicity", "A Blessing Of Peace" (so far my favorite) and many others. This is the kind of book to which I can pick pages at random, read, and be inspired and uplifted. For instance, from page 95, "The inner reality of Spirit will always be better than the outer manifestation."

Inspiring, Touching, a Must-Have Book

The beauty of John Morton's message is immeasurable. He has the gift of expressing himself so openly and honestly, yet in a humble sort of way. "The Blessings Already Are" is easy to read, relaxing, and truly inspiring. As I was reading this book, I kept thinking of friend after friend I want to buy this book for, because I want to share the blessings in it! It's a book I enjoy reading any time, just to remind myself of all the blessings present. How nice to have such a positive focus. Thank you, John Morton, for sharing such richness and loving with this world.

Touching my heart!

I just love this book. It touches me in a heartfelt way that brings tears to my eyes. One quote on page 9 says it all for me; "Consider this: If you were entirely loving, nothing would bother you."
