The solution? To pursue, by God’s grace, the paradoxical character preached by Jesus in the Beatitudes. As he explores these foundations for kingdom living, Jonathan Landry Cruse shows how the surprising course of spiritual growth leads to rich blessing in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Kingdom Character\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eI Must Decrease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeeping May Tarry for the Night\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Surprising Secret to World Domination\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSatisfaction Guaranteed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesiring Mercy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevoted to God\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavenly Resemblance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThrough Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Paradox People\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“What do [the Beatitudes] mean, and how do they relate to our lives today?
