Blessed: Eight Ways Christians Change Culture + Blessed Small Group Study Guide

by Jim Denison

Find the significance you were born for! If you look around our world today, you’ll see scores of people searching. Searching for peace. Searching for happiness. Searching for security. Yet what every human alive… what every human was born for… was for significance. As believers, that means living a life of purpose and fulfillment, having a sense of well-being that transcends circumstances—and being a force for the kingdom in our culture. That’s why Dr. Denison wrote his book, Eight Ways Christians Change Culture, and why we’ve recently re-released it with the inclusion of the bonus Blessed Small Group Study Guide.

Reviews

[Robin Owens · Rating 4 out of 5]

As Christians we should be living a life of purpose and fulfillment, having a sense of well-being that transcends circumstances, and being a force for the kingdom in our culture. This book is a study of the eight Beatitudes. It is practical, well written, and includes a small group study guide in the back of the book. A great study for small groups.

I like the format of this book for small group study, but I felt He could go deeper in the explanation of each beatitude.
