A Radical Life: Living the BeatitudesThe Beatitudes are our pattern for living. They are radical. From the first, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," to the last, "Blessed are those who are persecuted," each runs counter to our culture. The world praises pride, not humility. The first four shape our character, the last four shape our actions. You'll find no better guide for your life. (192pp. Masthof Press, 2023.)
