The Beatitude Attitude was started thirty-six years ago when I began my spiritual journey. I started by questioning who I was and where I was going and found my answers in Jesuss teachings from the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5:3-12 (The Beatitudes). This book is my personal spiritual journey and growth by living the Beatitudes every day, and I found the power of living freely through the essence of contentment. By deepening my spirituality, I was able to live a happier, healthier, and peaceful life.

A five part course for small groups encouraging Christians to examine their lifestyle in the light of Jesus’ radical teaching in the Beatitudes and to live out these kingdom values – now.

Jesus' first recorded sermon in the Bible is a blueprint for being happy here on earth. And though His definition contains no prescriptions for acquiring cars, homes, or savings, it does require transformation and obedience. MacArthur examines Jesus' timeless definition of happiness, and explains that our reward for following Jesus' plan is citizenship in the kingdom of God- and an abiding joy that can never be taken away. Study guide and review included for individual or group study.

The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes are often considered significant texts for the Christian moral life. However, most interpretations of these passages either focus on the original meaning of the text or how the texts should impact ordinary living today. In The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes Yiu Sing Lúcás Chan brings together biblical studies and Christian ethics to look at these foundational texts in a new way. For each passage Chan asks both what the texts meant and what they mean today. He helps readers to carefully study the text’s original meaning, then interpret the text within a sound ethical framework. The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes is an excellent introduction to key concepts in biblical studies and Christian ethics that combines sound study with warmth and wisdom.

THE BEATITUDES All of us have attitudes, how we feel about certain things. The beatitudes will give you a character reference of those who inherit the Kingdom of God, and they will teach you how to obtain spiritual joy, be blessed, and how to have inner happiness. If you are discouraged, spiritually oppressed, or persecuted, all these and more are dealt within the beatitudes. Be prepared, as this journey you are entering will be the exact opposite of the world's view! THE ARMOR OF GOD There are two kingdoms: the Kingdom of God (light), and the Kingdom of Satan (darkness). Satan's headquarters are located in the heavenly realms and you need to know where the battlefield is and how to stand up spiritually with the armor on. Each piece of armor is designed to protect a vital part of you. You will learn how to become a spirit-filled warrior in the Lord's army!

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").

An inclusive language version of the modern spiritual classic, an exquisitely beautiful meditation on the incarnation, on what it means to be fully human, and on finding the face of God hidden in our neighbors.
