Details: his accessible book focuses on the stunning teaching of Jesus in the Beatitudes that some have called the 'blessed attitudes'. To many they contrast paradoxically with the accommodating attitudes of the world surrounding us: We thirst for more, more, more... Jesus wants to keep us poor in spirit. We admire 'cool'... Jesus commends a thirst for goodness. We reward ambition... Jesus refreshes those whose pride is broken. We say revenge is sweet... Jesus sets free the forgiven and forgiver. Such attitudes create great character and bring heaven down to earth. In The Jesus I Never Knew Philip Yancey says: "The more I study Jesus, the more I realize that the statements contained here (in the Sermon on the Mount) lie at the heart of His message. If I fail to understand this teaching, I fail to understand Him."
