The Spoken Blessing II:
Influencing Generations
by Ann Dews Gleaton
In this new volume, released in November 2025, Ann Dews Gleaton shows how the spoken blessing engages God's word in paving the path for one's future. She reveals how believers have been given insight into this often overlooked power of advancing God's will and His kingdom here in earth, as it is in heaven.
“Reading Ann Dews Gleaton’s new book was a rare treat. I was deeply moved while reading it. She has tapped into a deep well of God’s design for His world. Ann not only talks about it, but she shares personal stories from her family.”

"Speaking and releasing Blessing Declarations into lives and over situations can become a generational strength.
Engaging and trusting the power of the word of God and the authority and dominion of the Name of Jesus re-establishes the original directive of God to “be fruitful and multiply”——His image."

IN THE PRESS, FOR VOLUMES I & II
Ann has done a marvelous job of letting Scripture interpret Scripture in this book. It is not a book of Ann's opinions, but a book of God's promises exegeted perfectly to fit today's culture.
I highly recommend this book for every person and family as an essential that will nestle beside the Bible.

The principles and examples in this book have such a powerful impact upon the lives of those to whom the blessings
are spoken. Understanding and seeing the results of employing the spoken blessing will have an incredible impact upon
those who put it into practice. I have discovered by implementing these principles in my own life that they are very beneficial to those
who speak the blessing into other people’s lives as well.

continue throughout generations.”

BIO
Ann Dews Gleaton and family were introduced to the principle and the practice of speaking blessings in 1991. Their family needed a major attitude adjustment! Learning to speak blessings met this urgent need. Ann and her husband, Cal, followed the example of Jesus in declaring blessings over their children. The attitude of their hearts and the atmosphere of their home changed.
Ann’s passion is to teach men, women and children how to make The Spoken Blessing an integral part of their lives. She has multiplied this understanding and practice within numerous lives.
Ann has taught within various settings: college courses, women’s conferences, and Bible studies for men and women. She and Cal minister to others the life-changing words of Christ as they follow His example of speaking and releasing blessings.
Ann and Cal currently live in Cairo, Georgia. Their four children, now married, deposit God’s word into their children’s lives. The principle and practice of speaking blessings is propelled into the next generation, for the glory of God.
