Twelve-year-old Declan Parker was born with only one eye, but all he seems to have trouble seeing in proper perspective is himself. All he wants is for kids to see him as normal before he starts a new school in the fall. To that end, he sets out to make money helping with his dad’s tree care business.Unfortunately, when his dad lands in the hospital after a climbing accident, Declan’s surgery hopes are wrecked. His only hope remains in a neighbor girl and her uncle, a wounded army veteran. Can they help him save his dad’s business, or will Declan’s once-courageous drive turn into total despair?

It’s a Monday morning for the Towers family.

Everything changes when they discover that the supernatural power unleashed by the Blessing Effect can literally rewrite the future!The Blessing Effect is a youth-fiction novel that helps kids and parents see how powerful, life-changing impacts can occur when intentional kindness is put into action.In this story, Zack Towers reaches out to Joel, the most troubled and volatile kid at North Valley High School.

But the question remains… will Joel and other kids in need of healing and restoration choose to receive the blessings that await?PRAISE FOR THE BLESSING EFFECT“After working many years in youth ministry, and now as a Christian music songwriter, I have seen firsthand how words and stories can have an impact on lives. This book provides an antidote to the bullying, violence, and pain that is all too prevalent in our youth today. The Blessing Effect shows us that there are no limits when love is put into action.”— Ethan Hulse, Grammy-nominated, award-winning songwriter“"Behavioral sciences and Scriptures both reveal the trans-formative impact that can be achieved from kindness and caring for others. The Blessing Effect provides a pragmatic road map for combining acts of kindness and the power of the Holy Spirit. I look forward to seeing how this book will be used to bring about much-needed hope, healing, and restoration in our youth.”—Dana W. Scannell, Ph.D., Organizational Psychologist and Executive Education Instructor at UCLA Anderson School of Management"After years leading youth ministry, and now as a men’s pastor, I’m excited about how The Blessing Effect will be a solid resource for our students and parents.

Robert puts the power of God, the power of prayer, and the power of encouragement to bring hope to others and ourselves on display.”—Kyle Zimmerman, pastor at Friends Church in Orange, California"As an art teacher in the Dallas public school system, I see a real need for my students to read The Blessing Effect. This timely and engrossing story needs to be shared today!”—Cyndy Feasel, schoolteacher and author of After the Cheering Stops: An NFL Wife’s Story of Concussions, Loss, and the Faith That Saw Her Through"There is a contagious power that comes from those who put others first.
