What if we lived in a world of abundance? In the Beatitudes, Jesus
offers nine sayings that move us beyond our first instincts and
instead embrace the deeper reality of the kingdom of God. They name
the illusions and false beliefs that have kept us chained and
imprisoned. We've learned to live from a mentality of anxiety and
greed, but what if a world of abundance with solace and comfort are
actually near? We've learned to live by striving, competition, and
comparison, but what if we all have equal dignity and worth? Mark
Scandrette shows how the Beatitudes invite us into nine new
postures for life. Instead of living in fear, we can choose radical
love. It's often assumed that the good life is only for the most
wealthy, attractive, and powerful. Poor, sad, and suffering people
are left out. But the ninefold path of the Beatitudes is for
everyone. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, wherever you
find yourself, this way is available to you.

A psyhological and spiritual exploration of the positive potential
hidden in our painful emotions. Its key conviction: our bad
feelings can be good news, alerting us to endangered values,
alarming us to hopes under siege, and arming us for the tough tasks
of change.
Filled with lively examples, the Whiteheads demonstrate how
negative emotions can lead to personal growth, spiritual
development, and social transformation. Family wounds, cultural
temptations, and religious malpractice make it difficult for us to
plumb the meaning of our passions. Breaking through these obstacles
is part of spirituality's healing task.
