The Beatitudes bring us face-to-face with ourselves and to the heart and mind of Jesus. As the beginning of Jesus's famous Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes guide us into radical honesty about our struggles, passions, and beliefs, serving as a compass that guides us into the enlightenment of our salvation. J. Steve Bruner's Beatitude journey began during his college years as a profound curiosity and contemplation stirred his soul about life, existence, and the human condition. With countless hours spent immersed in the foundational works of great thinkers, sages, and sacred text, Bruner became convinced there was a missing thread within the intricate tapestry of intellectual and spiritual wisdom. But it wasn't until a most challenging time that the Beatitudes found Bruner, shedding light on the wisdom of Jesus, revitalizing his mind and spirit, and revealing the mysteries of Scripture. With this newfound awareness, Bruner acquired a fresh perspective and a new attitude toward perceiving the world, his faith, and his purpose. BEATITUDE CODE / The Art of Living Perfectly Imperfect Lives is a labor of love, a synthesis of Bruner's life's passions, beliefs, and struggles. His work reveals how the Beatitudes show us the way to follow Jesus, becoming a map leading to our authentic selves and a life of awe and wonder. A writer, influential thought leader, and the visionary behind "The Beatitude Chronicle" and Beatitude Code Ministries, J. Steve Bruner's career has been a fascinating journey, encompassing roles such as director of social work for the Masonic Children's Home, a senior executive in the computer industry for over two decades, entrepreneur, mentor, Stephens Minister, and Enneagram coach. Steve's enduring passion has always revolved around philosophy, theology, the complexities of the cultural wars, and how the ancient mysteries of Scripture are relevant today.
