Book Cover & Preview Text
We are called by the Gospel to be founders and promoters of peace. Peacemakers, not merely peacekeepers. We should try to bring people into peace with God through the Gospel, and thereby into peace with themselves and with each other. We spread peace by teaching about Jesus and the only true peace that there is—the peace that he gives! This is a marvelous peace distribution plan! Having heard of the plan from someone else, we become distributors of peace in Jesus. Distributors of peace! This is the best multi-level marketing system ever devised. The cost to become a distributor is a bit difficult to explain, as it is both entirely free of any monetary charge but also requires all we have including our lives. The rewards are great, and the return on investment is even better. The retirement plan is beyond our wildest imaginations!.

About the Book
The Beatitudes from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount are the basis of living God’s way. In fact, they are a fundamental part of being and becoming a Christian; when followed, they can create a closer walk with Jesus Christ. Blessed Adventure is author Dean Duncan’s refreshing perspective on how the Beatitudes play a significant role in our Christian life. Found in the book of Matthew, the Beatitudes offer a pathway to spiritual development and contain nine “blessings” for Christians. These blessings are not archaic, but pertain to the here and now and are beneficial for all followers of Christ. Duncan examines each beatitude and shows how they can be achieved only through Jesus himself—not on our own volition. He shows the unique relationship between the Gospel message and the Beatitudes, pointing out how they support each other and intertwine in such a way as to enrich the understanding of each. In addition, Duncan’s thoughtful interpretation encourages believers to dig deeper into Scripture and forge an unbreakable bond with the Lord. Written in an easy-to-understand format, Blessed Adventure is perfect for Christians young and old. Grow your faith today!
