The Beatitudes: Pastoral Messages from Matthew 5:1-12 with a Study Guide for Personal or Group Reflection

The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2-12) mark the beginning of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. In these powerful counter-cultural statements, Jesus describes the way-of-life that is meant to be characteristic of those who belong to the Kingdom of God. This book (based on a popular series of messages offered to 21st century Christians) offers fresh, thoughtful insights about each of the Beatitudes, with application for how we live today and relate to God and to others. Each chapter is accompanied by a study guide, with reflective thoughts and questions that can be used for individual or group use.
