The Way of Beatitude - Living Radical Hope in a World of Division and Despair

Casey Cole

Sinopsis

What if we looked at the things we see wrong in the world with empathy, dug below the surface of people’s disappointing actions to experience their pain, and understood hurtful words as a cry for consolation? What if we responded with sorrow instead of outrage, and love instead of hate?If we could do all that, we’d be living as Jesus taught us in the Beatitudes. Fr. Casey Cole, OFM—host of YouTube’s Breaking the Habit—wants you to embrace the pain caused by anger and division in the world and then look to Jesus for hope through the Beatitudes.“The only thing that evangelizes is love,” Cole writes. “The only thing that will ever change someone’s mind, cause them to turn from their evil ways, accept Jesus into their lives, and become a peacemaker themselves is love. If we want to make peace in our world, we must put down our weapons and take up the cross.”In The Way of Beatitude, Cole explores the meaning of the words Jesus preached at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5: 3–12) and shows you how to get beyond apathy and despair and help Christ bring about the Kingdom of Heaven in the here and now. The Beatitudes, he says, offer a path toward radical change.You will learn how to:surrender to the mercy of God;face with courage the heartache caused by division and animosity;be patient and lean into God’s providence;hunger always for justice;commit to solidarity with the powerless and the broken;be liberators of the oppressed; andlay down your life for the sake of God’s Kingdom.By sharing his own stories of striving toward supreme blessedness, Cole shows you how to surrender power and move beyond the harmful divisiveness of our world.Chapters include reflection questions and practical ideas for living the Beatitudes.

Friendship With God - The...

Ted J. Hanson

Friendship with God empowers honor and grace in our lives. God wants us to know Him intimately. His gift of Jesus and Holy Spirit is proof that God is our friend. He invites us to become His friends to become givers of life to our world. 
Grace is receiving life from God to become a giver of life to others, and honor is how we give that life to one another. Though grace is manifested in honor, it is honor that invites the power of grace for a testimony of God's glory. These things are known through a face-to-face relationship with God as our friend. Knowing God as our friend will empowers honor and grace to cause us to manifest as God's sons and daughters for the sake of our world. 
There is an honor for who God is, worshiping who He is, being true to His name, living from His presence resting in our lives, and connecting to our God-given family inheritance. There is an honor for human life, relationships, possessions, reputations, and the boundaries of God-given authority. These levels of honor are a testimony to knowing the friendship of God in our lives and God's grace brings maturing testimonies of honor working in us. This book reveals these truths and how we find God's grace to become sons and daughters of God who exhibit these values of life.

Fortune - How Race Broke My...

Lisa Sharon Harper, Otis Moss

Drawing on her lifelong journey to know her family's history, leading Christian activist Lisa Sharon Harper recovers the beauty of her heritage, exposes the brokenness that race has wrought in America, and casts a vision for collective repair. 
 
 
 
Harper has spent three decades researching ten generations of her family history through DNA research, oral histories, interviews, and genealogy. Fortune, the name of Harper's first nonindigenous ancestor born on American soil, bore the brunt of the nation's first race, gender, and citizenship laws. As Harper traces her family's story through succeeding generations, she shows how American ideas, customs, and laws robbed her ancestors—and the ancestors of so many others—of their humanity and flourishing. 
 
 
 
Fortune helps listeners understand how America was built upon systems and structures in ways that blessed some and cursed others, allowing Americans of European descent to benefit from the colonization, genocide, enslavement, rape, and exploitation of people of color. As Harper lights a path through national and religious history, she clarifies exactly how and when the world broke and shows the way to redemption for us all. The book culminates with a vision of truth telling, reparation, and forgiveness that leads to Beloved Community.
