Christian Blessedness, or Practical Discourses Upon the Beatitudes of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: With Three Other Volumes of Practical Discourses (Classic Reprint)

This book examines the eight means to spiritual blessedness that the author argues were laid out by Jesus when he ascended the mountain, turned toward his disciples, and began to teach them. The author says that while many focus on the material aspects of his teachings, Jesus was more interested in the spiritual side and our relationship with God, fervants, and the world around us. The Beatitudes, the author says, are the pathway to that relationship. Tackling topics such as humility, anxiety, purity, mourning, and mercy, the author believes that through Jesus's teachings on the Beatitudes, we can not only achieve eternal bliss but experience it in the here and now.
