The book outlines our call as believers to live a “cruciform” life, understanding “the integral connection between peacemaking and cross bearing” along with showing mercy, loving justice, and so forth, through which “so much of the Sermon on the Mount comes into focus.”
The topic of the Beatitudes often garners my attention and I enjoyed the book’s contribution to the topic, as well as its format and writing style. This book serves as an excellent survey on the topic that I can wholeheartedly recommend. It also left me longing to read more.
Notable Quotes:
“The Beatitudes pour gasoline on our contemporary ideals—and then light a match. [They] dig beneath the surface, exposing what we really need to value and practice.”
“We’ll never be able to mediate peace to others without honestly and courageously doing business with our own hearts.”
