Inhaltsangabe

Do you want to embrace your God-given meekness and majesty?

In our time meekness is a glaringly absent characteristic in Christian communities. This is scandalous given that Jesus himself both commanded and exhibited meekness. It is truly remarkable that a defining grace such as meekness is roundly ignored by so many Christians. Too often we prefer the assertive and bold. It should not be so.

This book challenges contemporary Christianity by introducing readers to Messianic meekness. Jesus’ teaching in the third Beatitude-“Blessed are the meek”-is not a throwaway line in the introduction to the Sermon on the Mount, but a powerful distillation of Old Testament theology.

In a world marred with suffering, often because of a lack of meekness, this book offers comfort and confidence found in the promise that the meek inherit the earth. Indeed, it reminds us that the meek will one day rule and reign with the risen Jesus. Meekness leads to majesty, pick up this book to find out how.
