This week, the blog and this giveaway are sponsored by P&R Publishing.
As Christians strategize over cultural engagement, cultural disengagement, and cultural warfare, we can easily miss a core problem: The trouble isn’t that we’re in the world—it’s that we’re too much like the world. The solution? To pursue, by God’s grace, the paradoxical character preached by Jesus in the Beatitudes. As he explores these foundations for kingdom living, Jonathan Landry Cruse shows how the surprising course of spiritual growth leads to rich blessing in Christ.
“If you want a gospel-saturated guide through Christ’s famous blueprint for Christian character, rest assured you’ll find it in Cruse’s excellent expositions.”
—Harrison Perkins, Pastor, Oakland Hills Community Church, Farmington Hills, Michigan
Jonathan Landry Cruse says in the Introduction to Paradox People, “It is time for the Christian church to recover the genius of the Beatitudes. They give us the manifesto on Christian life in a non-Christian world that so many people have been desperately searching for. It was right in front of us all along, and it starts with the promise and guarantee of God’s blessing. From that starting point, we as individuals, and especially as a church community, are able to live out in a meaningful way the sort of character pictured for us.”
