I used this book as a text in a high school junior level Morality class. I have read what's out there on the Beatitudes and I believe this is the best. It is getting a little dated but overall the seemingly gentle questions that Jim poses really get to the heart of an authentic faith life. Because the Beatitudes are the core of the Christian message every Christian needs to attempt to understand them. Jim will lead you to a deeper understanding.
