- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

SUMMARY
The message of the beatitudes is vital for our times. Far from an impossible dream or a pious ideal, they are, says Evelyn Mattern, "a practicable program to enable us to survive". She brings a rich understanding of the insights of contemporary biblical scholars, as well as a wealth of illustrations from literature and life to her book. Drawing from classical Greek dramas and contemporary American novels, she highlights how the truths of the beatitudes are played out in our lives, and profiles many ordinary people whose struggles typify the beatitudes. In the midst of our harsh and volatile world, Mattern shows how the practice of the beatitudes in our everyday lives guides us in the ways of peace and compassion.Mattern, Evelyn is the author of 'Blessed Are You: The Beatitudes and Our Survival - Evelyn Mattern - Paperback' with ISBN 9780877935346 and ISBN 0877935343.
