Description:
"Jesus looks lovingly at the crowd below, speaking to them from the fullness of his burning heart. He holds out to them a blessedness, a joy, that he yearns for them to share – and not just later in the glory of heaven, but even now in this world of light and shadow." —From the Introduction
 
The Beatitudes, centerpiece of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, turn us upside-down. In a world craving wealth, power and fame, we hear Jesus declare blessed the poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure in heart – yes even those who mourn and are persecuted.
 
In Blessed Are You: Living the Beatitudes, Chris Ruff invites individuals and small groups to explore Jesus' paradoxical words with fresh eyes, discovering in them a treasury of beauty, simplicity and joy, and applying them to life.
 
Like other books in the Discipleship Series, Blessed Are You is:

- Ideal for busy people, with 6 short, engaging sessions

- Balanced in Scripture, brief commentary and prayer

- Dynamic in discussion questions that connect the Beatitudes with our daily lives

- Modest in proposing a component of service – love of neighbor – that makes discipleship more real

- Captivating with true stories that bring each Beatitude to life
