The Beatitudes of Peace: Meditations on the Beatitudes, Peacemaking, and the Spiritual Life

The Beatitudes of Peace: Meditations on the Beatitudes, Peacemaking, and the Spiritual Life

from $16.00

by John Dear, with a foreword by Nobel Winner Mairead Corrigan Maguire

The Beatitudes are the hope and prayer and vision of Jesus, the blueprint for Christian discipleship, the job description of every Christian, says John Dear. These stirring meditations are more than mere reflections. They 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. Set against vivid descriptions of peace efforts in places like Afghanistan; Israel; and Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dear combines scriptural wisdom with practical advice from peacemakers like Gandhi (who regularly read the Beatitudes), Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and many more. In each chapter, Dear 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.
