Living well - Robert Warren

From a major figure within the Church of England comes the latest in a long line of distinguished and successful Lent books.In Christ's Sermon on the Mount appears the Beatitudes, or what has often been called the `Christian's Manifesto'. It refers to the famous `blessed are.' statements of Jesus: the poor in spirit, those that mourn, the meek, the hungry, the merciful, the pure, the peacemakers and the persecuted.Robert Warren has written Living Well as a study of abiding Christian truth which can be relied upon in a fast changing world. Set against the back drop of the millennium, he explores how these words continue to resonate in the lives and hearts of believers and unbelievers alike. As with previous Lent books sponsored by the Archbishop of Canterbury, including The Shape of Living by David Ford last year and Mary's Story, Mary's Song by Elaine Storkey the year before, this new guide is highly relevant today. It shows how every part of the Beatitudes speaks to contemporary society.Following a valuable Foreword by Dr George Carey, each chapter is attractively presented with upbeat titles such as `Say yes to life'. Also included are helpful check lists and boxes to explain or summarize points made.
