Blessed Are the Meek - by John Monaco (Paperback)

About the Book

"Self-help book written to help readers understand, cope with, and survive these perilous times. One beatitude in the biblical Book of Matthew was a paradox to him: "Blessed are the Meek for they shall inherit the earth." Its obvious paradox haunted him. How could this be? What did it mean? Aren't we brought up to be winners, better than the rest, and apart from the teeming masses? Why would we want to inherit the earth? In the middle of a sleepless night, tormented by his own demons and past, it suddenly became clear to him. By meekness, Jesus meant humility, and the opposite of humility is arrogance; Also, by inheriting the earth, he meant connecting with others"--

Review Quotes

Two important things struck me as I read the wonderful self-help book by Dr. John Monaco. The first is how wonderful it is to read a self-help book that is so interesting and so well-written. The second thing that struck me is how important this book is. We are going through a world-wide epidemic, not only viral, but also an epidemic of loneliness, separation, and disconnection. Larry Parr, reviewer.
