Those Whom God Calls Blessed: The Beatitudes for Everyday Living

From the publisher: Through the Beatitudes Jesus paints an icon describing the life of the new person, the "new creation" that the Triune God produces for the Kingdom of God. Jesus came not just to reveal God's truth but to save us and conform us to the beautiful icon he paints of us in the Beatitudes. Through the use of the Church Fathers and the lives of the saints as well as countless contemporary stories, anecdotes and illustrations, this book makes the Beatitudes come alive and relevant for the twenty-first century.
