From back cover:
What the Ten Commandments are to the Old Testament, so the Beatitudes are the New Testament. They are at the core of Jesus' teachings, and at the heart of the New Covenant. Not unlike the Beatitudes themselves, Blessings speaks directly to the heart and soul, and both comforts and encourages us to live out the gospel of Jesus in our daily life.
"The Beatitudes," writes John Michael Talbot, "lead us to the way of the cross and to a new way of freedom. They help us to find wealth in poverty, deeper joy in sorrow, glory in meekness, justice in mercy, clarity in purity of heart, equality in peacemaking, and final victory even in persecution."

A very well written study of the Beatitudes that we read, over several weeks, in our Sunday morning devotional group.

This is not the kind of book I generally get into, so I wanted to get it back in circulation. :)Since I was taking a driving trip upstate (5 1/2 hour drive!) to a used bookstore I've been wanting go to, I thought I would take it as a trade in with other for credit towards other books. It's a very popular place so I'm sure it'll find an exciting new reader soon. ;)
