The Beatitudes of Peace: Meditations on the Beatitudes, Peacemaking and the Spiritual Life by John Dear. (Obtaining a copy is recommended. Some will be available through the church office).
These meditations are a call to action, a summons to take up the Beatitudes as a daily handbook for life, written by an internationally known voice for peace and nonviolence. Dear combines scriptural wisdom with practical advice from peacemakers like Gandhi (who regularly read the Beatitudes), Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, Desmond Tutu and many more. In each chapter, this book affirms that the God of peace is alive and at work among us, calling his sons and daughters into the fullness of a life of true, lasting peace.
Prepare to be encouraged and challenged by this compelling work!
