Explore the Beatitudes and Woes of the Bible through the stories of thirteen Christian authors in this unique anthology. Courage in the face of suffering persecution, unexpected loss, self-sacrifice, joy in spite of circumstances, tears suppressed and expressed, love from the heart, kindness shown to friends and strangers, a monster slain, an alien plague, high adventure, a comedic hero finally taking a stand, a lost love found, and much more are featured in these tales. Each story ends by quoting Jesus--from either one of the nine "blessed are" statements in Matthew chapter five or one of the four "woe to" saying in Luke six.
