The Beatitudes at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount are some of the most beautiful and powerful words ever spoken by Jesus Christ. These immortal statements summarize the teachings of Christ, and they enable and inspire the faithful to live as productive citizens in the kingdom of God. In this text, Ordained Minister, Rev. Dr. Barry A. Allen, guides readers through the Beatitudes one at a time, and he explains what each of them means and how they are applied in the lives of contemporary Christian disciples. These beautiful words continue to reveal the genius of Jesus Christ and his ability to teach us how to transform not only our own lives but also how to positively impact the lives of those around us and our communities. This book is a good resource for Pastors, Sunday School Teachers, Youth Ministers, Christian Education Directors and any new or seasoned Christian disciples interested in learning more about the Beatitudes and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
