Blessed are the poor in spirit...
but can I keep my Mercedes?

Blessed are those who mourn...
but what if no-one I know has died lately?

The meek shall inherit the earth...
if that's OK with the rest of you.

The Beatitudes are among the best-known verses in the Bible, but what do they really mean? The Good Living Guide unlocks the treasures of the beatitudes by going back to the Old Testament. The Old Testament was Jesus' Bible, and all these pithy sayings are either direct quotes from it, or strongly reflect it's teaching.

The Good Living Guide will not only help you discover afresh the meaning of Matthew 5:1-12, it will teach you how to understand the New Testament by learning the message of the Old. And most important of all, you will have the painful but exhilarating experience of being challenged by the words of Jesus.

An ideal study book for individuals and small groups.

Customer Reviews

Funny cover image, but helpful book, esp. links with NT to OT
Review by Malcolm Savage | 25.10.2007

We found this to be a helpful book. Having the NT so tied into the OT was very helpful. I did this study with 2 single guys who are unlikely to get married and found the cover to be pretty unhelpful. According to the cover good living is to be a muscular white man holding a beautiful woman in a relaxing other worldly location - fortunately the book contents say something else.

Worth a look.
Review by Andrew Allan | 15.12.2004

This book is a good sound examination of the Beatitudes. It does run out of steam a little in the latter chapters. We have gone through it in a house group and benefitted greatly.
