What do the Beatitudes teach us about life, love, morality and personal responsibility?
The Beatitudes offer a vision of what life could be.
In Choices for Life, Kevin Treston reflects on the eight Beatitudes that are found in Matthew’s Gospel. Jesus taught the Beatitudes as a series of paradoxes for holistic living. In this book, Kevin explores how each beatitude reflects something of the mystery of who God is and how we are connected with every living thing in creation.
Are the Beatitudes an impossible dream or are they life goals that we can aspire to with a gracious God leading us on? The Beatitudes open our minds to a world of love, justice and peace. This book offers us a way to walk Jesus’ own path to that world.<
Dr Kevin Treston’s commitment to uncovering new understandings and to sharing them in a very readable fashion is a remarkable gift that he has given to searchers of wisdom over many years… I commend this book to anyone seeking to live a more virtuous life.
