Beatitudes: How to Live a Blessed Life is a Daily-Bible-Reading Study of The Beatitudes By: Deborah H. Bateman. The Beatitudes is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and is also known as “The Blessings.” The Beatitudes are found in the book of Matthew in Matthew 5:3-12. This Scripture tells us what it means to be righteous. Jesus tells us how God expects us, as Christians, to live our daily lives and how we can receive the blessings of God on our lives.
The word blessed means "happy" in a spiritual sense. I was blessed in that the author provided me with a download of her book. The Bible verse: Matthew 5 brings us good news. Because that Bible verse tells us we won't lose out, and God will provide for us. What better way for us to learn how to live happy and successfully than to read the Bible and the scriptures. Since Jesus is my best friend in life, I hope you find time to read "Beatitudes: How to Live a Blessed Life". The author skillfully puts questions at the end of each study. I believe this is a great way to study and learn the Bible.

This study on the Beatitudes is broken down in four sections that focus on certain Beatitudes. The author takes the time to explain what each one means and provides some thought provoking questions at the end of each section. Perhaps, you think you already know everything about the Beatitudes. It never hurts to restudy them and be reminded or learn something new. Once you have read this study, you can read the Sermon on the Mount and read the Beatitudes with a better understanding of what Jesus was trying to say. This is an excellent study that can be used to even teach the Beatitudes to children in a way that they can understand.

I highly recommend “Beatitudes: How to Live a Blessed Life” by Deborah H. Bateman
This four week Bible study is just that...a study of the Bible. I like how Deborah takes the scripture and goes through it each week studying the words of Jesus himself. She also includes 4-5 questions at the end of each study that can be done as an individual or as a group. This is a great passage of scripture but also a great Bible study - definitely recommended!
I honestly would love and pray I can do this all the time. I can't but will try differently a goal. I am a sinner but what is great with my relationship with Jesus Christ I can fall ask for forgiveness and try again. She makes it very helpful with the words she uses to understand.
This is a very basic bible study, can all be done in one evening. Questions aren't in depth enough for much of a group discussion. There are better books on the Beatitudes for group, but it's fine for beginners or a short study.
