The beginning of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount start with the beatitudes-the “Blessed are the…” and when we read that blessed are the meek, and blessed are those that mourn it’s easy to wonder if this really applies to us.  I don’t feel meek, and what does meekness truly look like?  If the beatitudes start Jesus’ most famous sermon then knowing how they apply and how to live them out may be really important.

Author, Mark Scandrette, digs into the beatitudes in his book The Ninefold Paths of Jesus and gives us practical application for living the beatitudes.  Where many books may stop after digging into the theology, Mark takes it to the next level by giving us practices that we can do each and every day.

Mark Scandrette is an internationally recognized expert in practical Christian spirituality. He is the founding director of ReIMAGINE: A Center for Integral Christian Practice, where he leads an annual series of retreats, workshops, and projects designed to help participants apply spiritual wisdom to everyday life. His multidisciplinary studies in applied psychology, family health, and theology have shaped his approach to learning and transformation. He is on the creative team for NINE BEATS collective, a project exploring the beatitudes as a 21st century vocabulary for the living way of Jesus.
