Craig Hill, president and founder of Family Foundations, has written a book entitled Bar Barakah (A Parents Guide to a Christian Bar Mitzvah).  This book is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.

This practical guide helps parents to understand and plan the blessing ceremony for their son or daughter at puberty.

Family Foundations’ mission is "To restore God’s timeless foundations to families throughout the earth." FFI is striving to help establish a "culture of blessing" in churches around the world.

Conception
Time in the womb
Birth
Infancy (0-5 years)
Puberty
Marriage
Later in life (old age)

Although each of these seven times of blessing is important, we believe a public ceremony is also important to celebrate birth, puberty, marriage and later in life. Our culture provides only celebrations of birth and marriage. FFI has many examples and testimonies of the powerful impact on people’s lives in a publicly celebrated blessing time at puberty and later in life. Of all these times, the blessing at time of puberty is the most powerful, life-changing event in a person’s life.

"Bar Barakah" means "son of blessing" — "Bat Barakah" means "daughter of blessing." Craig teaches that this important ceremony should be taken as seriously by parents as that of their son or daughter’s marriage.
The Bar Barakah (or Bat Barakah) ceremony requires three steps:

Preparatory Time — an 18-month process which includes the parents reading books, both together and with their child.

The Ceremony — the time in which the child is publicly released into adulthood, cut from childhood ties to the mother and set apart by their father’s words into their identity and destiny.

The Celebration — a party/reception following the ceremony. Read ideas and testimonies from parents who have planned a blessing ceremony.

Craig's teaching is available in a Video format as well.
