Publisher's Description 

In his foreword, Eric J. Alexander points out that "this book fills a significant gap in contemporary Christian writing. Although the past thirty have seen the publication of several excellent volumes on the Sermon on the Mount, we have lacked a full-length treatment of the Beatitudes. The Christian world has been deeply indebted to John Blanchard for his preaching and writing ministry over many years. Both are characterized by an absolute faithfulness to the text of Scripture, a deep concern to apply God's Word to today's world, and a God-given insight into the implications of biblical truth."
