The Ninefold Path of Jesus

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“As a fellow student of the Beatitudes, I've loved getting to know Mark Scandrette in the past year. Our mutual passion has inspired conversations that have taught me so much and, beyond just talking, have helped me live differently in the world. I think the Beatitudes show us where God is and invite us to live in a different kind of way. This book is Jesus' extended invitation to us to know and practice this Jesus way. I have heard that the goal of Christian maturity is not independence but interdependence. Mark's questions and practices in this book guide us to a life of interdependence—dependence on divine presence and on our need for each other. We are not alone on the hill. I will be recommending The Ninefold Path of Jesus to everyone I know and letting the content challenge me and change me for many years to come.”
