Synopsis

God is on your side

Too often we think of the Beatitudes as an instruction manual for living a good life, or some kind of spiritual ladder to climb. But in these announcements, our Teacher is saying so much more: He is speaking personally and profoundly to the deep ache we all face when life gets broken and doesn’t work out as we think it should.

Join Stu Garrard on an adventure to discover the surprising meaning of these words. Along the way, you’ll meet peacemakers on the front lines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the twenty-first-century meek in our own communities, and people living lives worthy of persecution.

After all, these words from the hill are speaking still: Inside the ache, the lack, and the “not-yet-ness” of life, we are invited to listen afresh, to lift our heads, and to share the surprising, upside-down announcement that God is on our side.

Goodreads review by Andrew

The documentary that is part of Stu's Beatitudes Project is amazing. Essentially, the book is the documentary in print form and that's why I had to give the book 3 stars. The film works because he has the actual people on camera telling their stories. For the book, a lot of the chapters become long......more

Goodreads review by Vincent

Despite being a Christian for many years as a member of the Christian Rock Band, Delirious? Stu Garrard had a real epiphany when visiting the mount of the Beatitudes overlooking the sea of Galilee. It was here that the truth of Christ's words spoken to the multitudes there, really came home to him.......more

Goodreads review by Nigel

I really enjoyed this and it was very easy to read. I love how Stu looks at the beatitudes in the context of people, culture , society and relationships today. I listened to the podcast and the album before reading this so that was helpful but not necessary. There is a humility to this book and a vu......more
