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.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 5x0x7; This book may be an ex-library item. This book is in very good condition, with only minor signs of wear and use. The pages may contain limited notes or highlighting, but overall, the text remains clean and legible. The cover and spine are also in great shape, with only minimal shelf wear or creasing. This book has been well-maintained and still presents a clean and attractive appearance.
I used this book as a text in a high school junior level Morality class. I have read what's out there on the Beatitudes and I believe this is the best. It is getting a little dated but overall the seemingly gentle questions that Jim poses really get to the heart of an authentic faith life. Because the Beatitudes are the core of the Christian message every Christian needs to attempt to understand them. Jim will lead you to a deeper understanding.
