Product information :
"The Sermon on the Mount is central to Jesus' teachings, but its radical ethic is repeatedly diluted or spiritualized. Unexpected Blessing does neither. In a most readable fashion it draws out the concrete implications of the message for everyday life. Contrary to a self-oriented culture, the Beatitudes point away from self-reliance, self-deception, self-interest, self-absorption and self-righteousness. Blessing in the Kingdom of God, Cameron Lee points out, is more than happiness; it is experiencing 'the favor of God.' But that will require of us faith-full imagination of how the Kingdom of God operates in our times. The status quo is unacceptable because the Beatitudes are countercultural. Such a book we need." Alvin Dueck, Ph.D., Evelyn and Frank Freed Professor of the Integration of Psychology and Theology, Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary
