About the Author

This book is dedicated to parents all over the world seeking to improve the lives of their children.

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

—Isaiah 48:17

I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.

—Isaiah 42:16 (emphasis mine)

The Lord bless you, and keep you;

the Lord make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you;

the Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.

—Numbers 6:24–26

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

The lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and he will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

The Lord will establish you as a holy people to himself, just as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways.

Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.

—Deuteronomy 28:2–10

And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.

The Lord will open to you his good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

—Deuteronomy 28:2–13 (emphasis mine)
