In Claiming the Beatitudes: Nine Stories from a New Generation, Howard asks the questions, “What would the beatitudes look like today? Is it possible to live a beatitudes life in today’s world?” Through nine remarkable stories of young pastors and seminarians, we are introduced to a world where the beatitudes are not an unreachable moral standard, but a simple set of guidelines by which we can try to live our lives. Howard reminds us that “these are not impossible hero stories; these are simply people of commitment and conviction and courage who invite us to join them in their daily practice.”
