- Notes
- "[By] Christopher Page".
- "As spiritual seekers we do not need more information about our faith. We need the tools of living transformed and transforming lives. These are the tools Jesus left to us hidden in the words of both the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. These passages of Scripture are meant to be lived, not simply to be used as the basis for developing elaborate doctrines and theologies." "The Beatitudes set out for us the attitudes and practices of the Christian life. The Lord's Prayer builds upon those principles and guides us in living in communion with God." "Each chapter is followed by two sets of questions and then a practice exercise. The exercises are the heart of this book. .... By pondering the questions at the end of each chapter and following the exercises, we may discover new realms of being opening within ourselves. We may encounter the living Wisdom of God. We may find ourselves living from a new place. We may meet the world with fresh eyes and a renewed compassion and hope". -- Intro.
