"Hero." Someone we admire, someone we
want to be like. But does your idea of
a
hero include someone poor in spirit?
meek? merciful?
In this fresh look at the Beatitudes,
Iain M. Duguid shows how Jesus turns
our
concept of a hero upside down. The
Beatitudes hold out to us a higher form
of heroism-the character and attitudes
found in the Hero of heroes.
"Iain Duguid again takes us by
the
hand and leads us to Jesus. This book
is
so powerfully pastoral and
heart-reaching, the language so simple
and powerful, that we may not be aware
of the biblical scholarship that drives
it."
