"As a parent and a leader in the church, I am continually looking for tools to help both my family
and other families take the moments of our daily lives and connect them with our spiritual journey.
For Everything A Season is an answer to prayer for those who join me in this search. The Nilsen
family has crafted 75 blessing rituals for transforming ordinary events into sacred time. This
resource is a must for pastors, lay leaders and parents of all ages."
Terri Elton, Director of
Changing Church
"Inside you'll find blessings for birthdays, the new school year, and the changing of the seasons.
You'll find blessings for adolescent body changes, getting a driver's license, graduations, a new
home, a new pet or the death of a pet. Ever wonder what to do for an ill friend of family member?
Bless them! Try blessing an important conversation before you begin -- it could be good for
business. There is even a blessing for protection against evil. We all could use that. Anyone who
uses this book will unleash the power of blessings in their life. May you be so blessed!"
