I'm not a theologian, but through my encounters with people who are elderly, disabled, dying, and bereaved - and through my own quest for peace - Jesus' teachings known as the Beatitudes have become essential. They describe the attributes of God's people: God is with those who suffer, those beaten down by life and rejected by the world. Whether you consider yourself a Christian or not, you too can be encouraged by these words: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\u003cbr\u003e Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.\u003cbr\u003e Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.\u003cbr\u003e Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.\u003cbr\u003e Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.\u003cbr\u003e Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.\u003cbr\u003e Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBroken but Blessed\u003c\/i\u003e is a journey\u003c\/b\u003e through the lives of ordinary people who exemplify these values, which flip the priorities of modern society on their head. Perhaps you, like one of these people, are up against insurmountable odds, battling illness or devastated by loss. You may have been rejected, betrayed, or abused. Whatever you are facing, these people will accompany you, showing how suffering can be transformed into blessing and how, even in our own brokenness, we can become a blessing to others.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 6.9 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384214470834,"sku":"9780874867633","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/c320d3b5f75af1f39f46c024db0a5ba1.webp?v=1777879652","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/broken-but-blessed-journeying-from-pain-to-peace-with-unlikely-guides-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
