Publisher's Summary

Fans of Jeffrey R. Holland, Sheri Dew, and Dieter F. Uchtdorf will love this book.

An inspiring true story of faith, hope, and God's love.
As I held my infant son in my arms, I began to ponder some difficult questions regarding LDS priesthood blessings. If his life ever became threatened by illness or accident and I needed to administer a priesthood blessing, how could I possibly know what to say? How could I know whether my feelings were from inspiration or from my own desires? If my duty was to tune into the frequency of the “Still, Small Voice” prompting me, then how could I possibly tune out the fatherly instincts screaming inside my head?
I also began to wonder about other blessings that were meant for comfort and guidance. If I were facing a tough decision, what did it matter if I had someone give me a blessing? If my faith and obedience was the key to receiving God’s blessings, wouldn’t it be just as beneficial to only fast and pray?
In searching for answers to these (and other) questions, it seemed like the majority of what I read was dedicated to miracles—the kind where people were able to “arise and walk” after being near death, etc. Many of them said something like, “The power of priesthood blessings is real. Let me tell you about a miracle I witnessed.”
I believe in God showing his divine power by healing in miraculous ways, but those stories are considered miraculous and special for a reason—they’re not how things typically go. It would be easy to have faith in priesthood blessings if everyone were healed instantly every time a blessing was pronounced, but faith is not always that easy.
This book is a true story. It purposefully does not contain any “arise and walk” type of miracles, but as you follow the inspiring journey of how I found answers to my own questions, your faith and testimony surrounding priesthood blessings and God’s love will grow.
