Upside Down Kingdom

Secrets of Spiritual Transformation Hidden in the Beatitudes

De: Bill White

Narrado por: Bill White

In Jesus' greatest sermon, he begins with the Beatitudes: nine statements that turn our world upside down. He's establishing a counterculture, a different way to seeing reality, with a shocking set of blessings. Jesus is asking us to join him in a kingdom that challenges everything we normally believe and hold dear...and offers us more than we've ever imagined.

Sound intriguing? Hold on tight.

Look at this modern translation: "God's kind of happiness comes to those who know they are poor. Divine comfort is showered on those whose hearts are broken with grief. If you are truly meek, the whole world belongs to you. And for those of you who are suffering for doing the right thing - awesome! It's a party time! You belong in God's hall of fame!"

In this audiobook, Pastor Bill White gives us a door of understanding. If we walk through it, we'll find that these paradoxical truths turn conventional wisdom upside down...and they fill our hearts with God's love, forgiveness, wisdom, and strength.

Oops, two books by the same name, different authors

Meant to download the Donald Kraybill book by the same name, but accidentally got this one. It's not a bad book but not the right one for the book group that I'm in.

Great insight.

One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Very relative to what going on in the Nation today in regards to religion and politics . Couldn’t wait to recommend to my friend .

Author spoken _ Wish I had this when I was younger

This book is incredibly written. The commandments tell us what not to do, but the beattitudes tell us what to do. Pastor Bill White does an incredible job utilizing scripture, And simplifying messages from the Bible. I truly wish this book existed when I was younger, it would have given me a great foundation to work from. It has many chapters in bite size chunks, and has incredible insights by a very experienced spiritual leader. The audio book sounds like a sermon and a story telling by someone that cares about you. God blessed this man with his teaching skills and this book is a huge blessing for the church and new church members.
