Reviews

[Alison Smith]

A deep dive into the Beatitudes, this book shared how we can live like Christ on earth and be a light in this world.

“Theirs is the kingdom - authority.
They shall be comforted - encouragement.
They shall inherit the earth - provision for every need.
They shall be filled with- satisfaction.
They shall obtain mercy - provision for ministry to others.
They shall see God - spiritual vision.
They shall be called the children of God - becoming more like God in daily life.”

This was my mother's book and I finally got around to reading it. You can definitely tell it was written in the 1970s by someone aligned with the Baptist or Evangelical church. I liked what the author had to say, just not how he said it. It was exclusionary at times and had not aged well.
