About Pastor’s Book “Favor of God”: 

Blessings In The Fog:  Pastor Daniel E Barrick Helps You Discover The Favor Of God 

        In most instances fog is seen as a menacing, dangerous element.  But Pastor Daniel E. Barrick’s book, Favor of God, Discover the FOG, fog is redefined as a cloud of God’s glory come to earth, “bringing with it millions of tiny showers of blessings, as it mingles among men.”

 

       Favor of God, Discover the FOG is an easy-to-understand, comprehensive study of the power of God’s favor that uses biblical references and personal anecdotes to introduce readers to the favor of God and how they can begin experiencing its benefits immediately.

 

       Pastor Barrick believes that anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, or occupation can have the favor of God working for them. “God’s blessings are on you and everything you do,” said Barrick. “It means that you don’t have to fear people and circumstances because you know that God is with you.”  Some of the benefits discussed in the book include how favor promotes you, how favor opens doors for you, how favor protects you, and how favor can promote church growth.

       According to Dr. Mark J. Chironna, “With care and precision, this cutting-edge pastor of the twenty-first century invites us to embrace the protection, love, care, and blessing that envelope us in the cloud of unknowing. He causes us to rest assured in the experience of the ‘fog’ as indeed the favor of God.”
