Vulnerability: Blessing in the Beatitudes (Gospel for Real Life)

Vulnerability: Blessing in the Beatitudes (Gospel for Real Life)

To love is to risk hurt. Yet Jesus blessed the vulnerable: the poor in spirit, the meek, the mourners. This study of the Beatitudes examines healthy vulnerability, unpacking ways to prayerfully implement it in relationships. “The Gospel isn’t just an ethereal idea. It’s not a philosophy and it’s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms the lives of those who by God’s grace alone put their faith in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. I am grateful for ABC’s work of letting the Gospel bear it’s weight on these real life sorrows and pains.” -- Matt Chandler, Lead Teaching Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas Vulnerability in relationships is important yet dangerous. Brad Hambrick, using the familiar Beatitudes of Christ, helps us to learn how to do it wisely and intentionally. -- Leslie Vernick, Christian Counselor, Coach, Speaker, Author of the Bestselling Book The Emotionally Destructive Relationship Brad Hambrick is pastor of counseling at The Summit Church in Durham, North Carolina, and adjunct professor of biblical counseling at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
