Beatitude Attitudes: Exploring the Blessing of Christian Discipleship. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Beatitude Attitudes: Exploring the Blessing of Christian Discipleship

Few passages in Scripture are better loved than the Beatitudes. The verses have an innate beauty, a poetry about them that appeals to something deep within, but what do they actually mean? In this selection of readings, reflections, and prayers, Nick Fawcett seeks to explore what each of the eight Beatitudes has to say to us today. Drawn from his book Daily Lent Reflections, here are readings to encourage, renew, and inspire as we seek more faithfully to exhibit beatitude attitudes in our daily lives.

Brought up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, Nick Fawcett served as a Baptist minister for 13 years, and as a chaplain with TocH for 3, before deciding to focuson writing and editing, which he continues with today, despite wrestling with myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood. He lives in Wellington, Somerset, with his wife, Deborah, and - when they are at home from university - his two children, Samuel and Kate. Delighting in the beauty of the West Country, Nick and Deborah love nothing more than walking stretches of the South West coast path at weekends, and Nick - as well as finding time for online games of chess and Scrabble alongside his many editing commitments - finds constant inspiration for his numerous books in the lanes and footpaths near his house. His aim, increasingly, is to write material free of religious jargon that reaches out to people of all faiths and none.
