    About this ebook

    This book will help parents and their children appreciate basic Christianity. There is no theological agenda here; the objective is to help young people develop empathy in a relationship with God and with other people. A characteristic of the perilous times predicted by the Apostle Paul in II Timothy chapter three is that people would be fierce. Fierceness appears contagious. There is a need for empathy, and a child’s natural empathy needs to be protected and developed. Terms have entered our vocabularies that indicate something is wrong. “School shooting” should be an oxymoron. “Road rage” should be unthinkable and unheard-of. “Mass murder”, “terrorism”, “bullying”, and similar terms should be confined to our history books and not be needed on our headlines. When Jesus Christ instituted the Beatitudes the world was much more brutal than now. These eight blessings based on Christ’s behavioral objectives for mankind are the divine remedy for healing adults and inoculating children against the callousness of the world.

    How To Be Blessed By Jesus
    Author

    John Lowstreet

    John Lowstreet's first book is about the beatitudes, because in them Christ has made a plain declaration of what He expects of us. Christ is not complicated. He is profound, however. John has spent his life trying to know God personally and to more deeply undertand God. His one quest is to have more experiences with God. John studied the Bible to find God, and as he found Him, grew to love Him. His writings and poems reflect deeply held convictions about the character of God and the importance of Jesus Christ.

      Let’s Talk PRAYER

      Jun 24, 2022

      We pray for a variety of reasons: it is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38) and obeying Him (Phil 4:6-7). We pray to demonstrate our faith in God, but most importantly, because Jesus did it. Prayers not prayed will be prayers unanswered. If the Syri
