Jesus' first recorded sermon in the Bible is a blueprint for being happy here on earth.

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.

Before preaching the sermon on the Mount, Jesus summoned his disciples to the top of the Mount and shared the Beatitudes with them.

Praise for The Beatitudes Bible Study “The author says that the ‘Beatitudes are character-building callings from the Master himself to take up a sacred quest to become the person God created you to be.’ I couldn’t agree more. Allow Marlin to guide you through this rediscovery of a special gift in scripture, the Beatitudes.” —Wanda S.

Use the Beatitudes to change your own attitudes as you wait for the mate God is preparing for you The number of people who wish they were married is myriad. Dating clubs, newspaper columns, and books on how to find a mate are everywhere. But no one has addressed this deep desire like Johnson Cook. She approaches this aching need and difficult situation from both a spiritual and practical perspective, applying the Beatitudes to the number one preoccupation of most single, divorced, and widowed Christian women--how to find a husband. This book uses the Beatitudes as a platform for those who are ready for the good news of God's way to kiss the single life goodbye. Pastor Johnson Cook encourages readers to develop what she calls 'betrothal attitudes'--positive states of mind and qualities of character that will help the reader enjoy her single life while she is becoming the person she needs to be to receive the mate God has in store for her. These 'betrothal attitudes' are spiritual teachings and life lessons learned by the author and others in her life, lessons that show how healing and victory can come to those who are willing to wait on God, receive God's teaching, and develop new attitudes toward themselves and their relationships.

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.
