Beatitudes project Having followed Stu G's musical output for some time am now excited to have not just songs (brilliant though they are, with the many collaborations) but now a connected project - book - film - study - podcasts .... Much better than the sermons I’ve heard over the years, these give a link between the words of Jesus and people’s lives now. So much to dig into, so much to challenge your thinking, so many songs that just hook into your brain and bring your thoughts back to the sayings and stories time and again. Have no fear sharing this project with your friends, everything is well crafted, they will thank you for it.

Exegesis Toffee Like any thorough inductive Bible study, The Beatitudes Project doesn't rush through its content. Each topic of the beatitudes passage is exegetically examined. Ten categories each week. This is like chewing toffee. There is no fast food here. The Liturgical reflections that end each session are a welcomed historical practice missing in so many churches today. Love it.

A 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!

from 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
