Product Description
Product Description
“Child of God, you are going to love this book! You’ll find yourself nodding, underlining, and shouting ‘Amen!’ all the way through. 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 Bible: 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 to:
• 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!

Format:Paperback
This well known "christianese" phrase is one that particularly gets on my nerves and I really was not looking forward to reading the book given the title. But I had enjoyed previous books by the author so I swallowed my negative preconceptions and started reading.
Superficially, people might be drawn to the "how to" portion of the title, looking for the miracle formula to living in a state of permanent blessing. However, the truth is that this book examines the life of Mary, mother of Jesus, whom this phrase was used to describe.
In the study of great characters in the Bible, Mary is often missed, because I imagine the detail on her is so sparse. Moses had the first five books of the Bible to establish himself, but all Mary gets a couple of chapters in total, but yet out of all of God's creation, she is the one He chose to give birth to His son, our Saviour. She was entrusted to be His parent. That is a pretty awesome responsibility.
This book challenges every Christian to develop the same sort of relationship that Mary developed with God. Through an examination of the scriptures, peppered with experiences from the author's life, she calls all of us to come to a place where God can entrust great things onto our hands. The questions at the end of each chapter help us to develop into people that are truly "blessed and highly favoured".

Helped me Connect to God
29 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
For years I have been wanting to feel personally connected to God. However, something seemed to have been missing. I bought this book at Borders while looking for something in the teacher section. The cover spoke to me. The summary on the back grabbed me, and the words inside have changed me. I am sure that the author of this book heard from God when she wrote it. It is easy to read and follow. It makes so much sense and very easy to understand and apply to your life. I only read a chapter at a time so that I can digest it. I hope there is a workbook that comes along with it because I can see how it can help grow. If you are looking to be blessed AND highly favored, read the book, and follow it.

MICHELLE....YOU GO GURL!!!
16 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
I had the pleasure, blessing and the privelage to meet and hear the wonderful vessel of God speak at my church's Women's Season Recruitment Night and it was truly a blessing. This is what the Co-Pastor at my church is using in her women's season bible study. Michelle is such an awesome author because she is so serious about being an instrument of righteousness for the Lord and she basically is saying in this book that if you want to be blessed and highly favored in the sight of our heavenly Father than you have to seek Him early, seek Him reverently, seek Him prayerfully and seek Him as if nothing else on earth really matters. This book lets you know that those of us who half step with the Lord as far as being in His will , will always be half blessed. I strongly recommend all of her books. Michelle, I thank God for you and your ministry and continue to be blessed and highly favored.
