GBA Creative and In-Depth Study of the Beatitudes In all fairness, I must disclose that I've been a huge fan of Stu G's work for a long time and so I bought both his album and documentary right after both were released. When he emailed out asking for reviews I jumped on the opportunity to tell others about the fine work Stu does. So, this is not an unbiased review. :) Nonetheless, I feel that all of the material associated with the Beatitudes Project is rich, thoughtful, and really well made. I am working my way through the weekly study material and find it very engaging. Approaching the Beatitudes from an artistic perspective gives these resources a unique perspective that I think many will find refreshing. Stu has really brought together a diverse group throughout the interviews that bring a full picture to the study, from scholars to artists to normal everyday folks. I have not tried this as a group study and so don't know entirely how well it works in that format but I hope to try to lead it in a group setting soon. Great work Stu!

GBThe course was good The course was good - though somewhat repetitive from other materials you've created. I'd also think about what you can do to make it more interactive - more lean forward vs. lean back?

GBMy life is forever changed by The View From Here! The Beatitudes project eCourse has really impacted how I see others in Jesus' eyes. It is a beautiful program that reminds us to look around us and see God in people, circumstances, and in our hearts for Jesus. If we want to transform the world, this is a great place to start, and I highly recommend this program. Would make a great Church program and also a must view for missionary teams. Thank you Stu for opening my eyes to injustice, and demonstrating how to love my neighbor as myself! Blessings, Pamela

GBfrom the cheap seats I'm not a business leader, not a politician, not a current member of a religious organization, not...the "project" has reminded me that His voice was meant for my ears and the ears of all of us in the cheap seats. I've been reminded how to live "in" the world and to resist responding to the noise "of" the world. having access to the "project" on-demand has helped me silence the noise. the "project" offerings available through, music, reading, video, theology chats, personal reflection, and putting it into action exercises...the "project" reminds me there is a different way to live amidst all the noise and chaos. but that is from just one of the cheap seats on the hill. thanks stu

GBStu's BEATITUDES study was a…time period of enormous impact upon my life. Stu's BEATITUDES study was a life-changing understanding of Jesus's words for us. My wife and I were privileged to participate in a community, alongside other believers, experiencing the impact of those "blessings" left for us to embrace. I will never be the same. Alex MacDougall
