<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"A disruptive and surprising journey through the Beatitudes. Most of the time, life doesn't work out like we expect it will. We spend time and energy trying to climb some sort of spiritual ladder, oblivious to the fact that it is God who is moving toward us. We want answers to our problems, yet what is offered is presence. What if we were to become united with our brokenness rather than our victories? What if God moves closest to us in the absence, the ache, and the longing? Words from the Hill turns each beatitude on its head to see the unexpected beneath the understood-diving into the story of a woman on death row to speak about mercy, personal stories from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to talk about peace, and much more. Stu Garrard has walked with these people in their stories, and he vulnerably offers his own as he unpacks the Good News of the Beatitudes. God is on your side, and He is closer than you think."<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>God is on your side.</b><br/>Too often we think of the Beatitudes as an instruction manual for living a good life, or some kind of spiritual ladder to climb. But in these announcements, our Teacher is saying so much more: He is speaking personally and profoundly to the deep ache we all face when life gets broken and doesn't work out as we think it should.<br/><br/>Join Stu Garrard on an adventure to discover the surprising meaning of these words. Along the way you'll meet peacemakers on the front lines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the twenty-first-century meek in our own communities, and people living lives worthy of persecution.<br/><br/>After all, these words from the hill are speaking still: Inside the ache, the lack, and the "not-yet-ness" of life, we are invited to listen afresh, to lift our heads, and to share the surprising, upside-down announcement that God is on our side.<br/><br/><b>Stu Garrard</b> is best known as the guitarist for the British band Delirious?, who, for nearly two decades, penned many of the best-known worship songs in modern Christendom. Now, when not touring as a guitar player, Stu is writing, recording, speaking, leading worship, and watching Netflix.
