Customer Reviews for IVP Connect The Beatitudes: Developing Spiritual Character, John Stott Bible Studies
IVP Connect The Beatitudes: Developing Spiritual Character, John Stott Bible Studies
The beatitudes reveal to us eight qualities that bring God's blessing: meekness and mercy, poorness in spirit and purity of heart, mourning and hunger, peacemaking and persecution. Jesus highlighted these to offer both encouragement and instruction on living distinctly as his followers in a world with values much different from God's. Eight studies are included in this study, one for each of the beatitudes. Questions are in an inductive format with commentary notes, personal application, prayer helps and leader guidelines. After you have worked throughthe questions and notes in the guide, you may want to read the accompanying commentary by John Stott in the Bible Speaks Today series (WW2965).

We are in the middle of this book in our Couples Bible study. I have already recommended it to another group of men I am participating with. So I will be ordering more books. I am not disappointed to go through this section of scriptures and book a second time. It is that good! Thank you John Stott

John Stott studies are simply the best. He is simple yet thorough. Meaty without being overbearing. This study is particularly good.

A group will be using this as a monthly study in 2011-2012, along with other resources. We expect this study to promote personal reflection which will enhance the group process.

I have been in Bible study for over 10 years, this is our first John Stott study and I am the facilitator. We all love this study. Each week the lesson starts with a Beatitude, explained in a way I have never heard before, with ample application to our lives. It stirred much discussion in our group and was a blessing. We have one more lesson and on to another Stott study :-)

Our small group of 5 couples used this book for our study. We found it provoking concerning what Christ truly meant and how we apply the Beatitudes to our lives. It promoted good discussion. The included leaders tips were useful.

II have participated in this study in the past and am currently facilitating the study with a group of young moms. John Stott is a wonderful theologian and has helped the Beatitudes come alive in my thinking. The questions have sparked some lively discussion in the group and we are leaving with a greater appreciation for Jesus' teaching at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. I am interested in doing more of John Stott's studies.

It was not what I expected for my small faith group. I expected each chapter to start with a beatitude.

Very well constructed study. Solid Biblical foundation with provocative inductive questions to help process the Scripture as well as the author's inspired thinking.
