Launching A Book And A Blessing

Article imageIt was almost like a birthday party, complete with balloons and cake. In some ways it was even more fun. It was the launching party of John Morton’s first book, The Blessings Already Are.

John started autographing books at 5 PM at 2101 Wilshire in Los Angeles, and as is his style, he took a moment to be with each person and sign their book(s) with a genuine heartfelt thought. Yes, it made the line move more slowly, but we heard no complaints as people chatted happily while they waited.

By about 7:15 the author was ready to give his writing hand a rest and share a few thoughts with the more than two hundred people who had come out to share in this momentous event.

John spoke about how the book came about, and acknowledged those who supported it, notably Tom Boyer, who emceed the evening, and Judi Goldfader,who was the guiding force for making it all happen on time. And of course, John related that it was John-Roger, to whom the book is dedicated, that was the inspiration for this and all the work he does.

Having been labelled “Mr. Blessing,” by one of the guests, John “reached inside” and shared a blessing he found there. Tonight’s was, appropriately, a blessing of thanks giving.

All in all, John demonstrated once again to us what a blessing he is.

The Blessings Already Are by John Morton is available through MSIA online at www.theblessings.org, or by email to order@msia.org, or by phone to (323) 737-4055, and will soon be in Barnes & Noble stores among other major chains. It is a beautiful book both in design and content. Consider it for holiday giving or as a wonderful gift for any occasion.
