The Aaronic Blessing Paperback – 20 Jun 2004

The author touched a core in my heart with the subject matter of her book. Being in the ministry for many years, "The Aaronic Blessing" is not only one that we have prayed over people time and time again, but one that we have put to song. I wasinterested in how she would present this material and what she would have to say about it. I was not disappointed. The first aspect I liked was Ms. McKenzie beginning her work with words from her heart as she shared experiences of her youth and her family. To me, this brought a warmth to the read and I felt comfortable in settling into it. I have read countless books, written by countless religious teachers that were correct Biblically, filled with knowledge, but lacked the personal touch that mankind so needs in these troubled times. The authordoes a wonderful job through her writing in not talking down to the reader but encouraging them to continue on in anticipation that the knowledge they would obtain would truly be a blessing. The author breaks down the Aaronic Blessing, teaching on each aspect of it in detail. She ends her work with a short lesson on the Levitical Priesthood, how the prayer originated and thesymbolic message it has for us as Christians today.I truly enjoyed how she explained the meaning of the word 'blessing' in Hebrew and I felt her knowledge of the subject matter was exceptional."The Aaronic Blessing" is a book that will help you understand the love of God, the true meaning and importance of His blessings and will lead you into receiving them in your own life.Very highly recommended!"And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 'Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. . and I will bless them."Numbers 6:24, 25, 26, (KJV)Shirley Johnson Senior Reviewer MidWest Book Review
