Living the Beatitudes Today by Guy Robert Peel Steward Pdf

Living the Beatitudes Today looks at the basic building blocks of the Christian life – found in Jesus’s first recorded sermon — and unveils how they act like a hinge between the Old and New Covenants, encapsulating the law of Moses, the messages of the prophets, plus the teachings of Jesus and of all the New Testament. Living the Beatitudes Today reveals the power of the two greatest commandments and of the golden rule. It examines the clear theological and practical implications of the Beatitudes for the believer in Christ, challenges the wrong assumptions about the Beatitudes, and invites the seeker to step out on a journey, through an understanding of the Beatitudes, towards a lifetime of ever-increasing connection with their Creator, and to truly live the Beatitudes today.

The Ladder of the Beatitudes by Jim Forest,James H. Forest Pdf

Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture, and everyday life, Jim Forest opens up the mysteries of the Beatitudes. These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on the Mount, are all aspects of communion with God. As Forest shows, they are like rungs on a ladder, each one leading to the next. They appear at the doorway of the New Testament to provide an easily memorized summary of everything that follows, right down to the crucifixion ("Blessed are you who are persecuted") and the resurrection ("Rejoice and be glad").

Words from the Hill by Stu Garrard Pdf

A disruptive and surprising journey through the Beatitudes. Most of the time, life doesn't work out like we expect it will. We spend time and energy trying to climb some sort of spiritual ladder, oblivious to the fact that it is God who is moving toward us. We want answers to our problems, yet what is offered is presence. What if we were to become united with our brokenness rather than our victories? What if God moves closest to us in the absence, the ache, and the longing? Words from the Hill turns each beatitude on its head to see the unexpected beneath the understood--diving into the story of a woman on death row to speak about mercy, personal stories from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to talk about peace, and much more. Stu Garrard has walked with these people in their stories, and he vulnerably offers his own as he unpacks the Good News of the Beatitudes. God is on your side, and He is closer than you think.

The Pursuit of Happiness--God's Way by Servais Pinckaers Pdf

When we think of happiness, we have to admit that our idea is at times worldly and self-centered. Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount showed us that true happiness will elude us, however, if we follow that kind of thinking. And, in the form of a series of promises and challenges, which we have come to know as the Beatitudes, He told us how to find perfect happiness--both here and in the hereafter. In a world that is capable of the best and the worst, we all have reason to be concerned about the very possibility of ever finding happiness in our lifetimes. The good news of the Gospel message is that we can. Even more, it teaches a way based not on rules and obligations so much as one founded on love, a way that depends upon and leads to the blessings of God Himself. These pages have been written in the conviction that every seeker should make the Sermon on the Mount the primary source of what will and will not make her happy. In His approach to the question, Jesus insists from the outset that we face up to the inevitable trials of life: poverty, tears, hunger and thirst, and shows us how we can find God--the source and object of our joy--in the midst of them.
