New Book Announcement: The Backwards Beatitudes
The Lucky Life: The Backwards Beatitudes, by Skip Moen, D.Phil.
The Beatitudes are recognized as the ethical foundation of the Kingdom message of Yeshua. But too often they have been treated as if they were spoken to Western-thinking believers. These zen-like sayings are examples of the upside-down perspective of Hebraic ethics. What they reveal about the Kingdom and the citizens of the Kingdom underscores how much we have misunderstood their context and culture. By examining the linguistic and cultural issues, we see that these well-known declarations are completely backwards.
Luck is for losers. Winners do not believe in luck. But they do believe in the lucky life. They believe in the lucky life because God’s view of life is all about being lucky. Understanding the difference between luck and lucky will change everything.
Stop waiting for good luck! Start living the lucky life – the life God designed.

i loathe the word “losers” – it sounds so arrogant & i feel/believe we were all losers until we come to Christ & then we win by losing – what a paradox… losing our stinkin selves & winning by becoming One with HIM & let Him give us our new identity/name & becoming a new creation in & by HIM… ♥ jan
I’m A Loser
Hi Jan,
I was not a big Beatles fan but I saw them at in the 60’s and always liked the song 🙂

I’m A Loser (lennon/mccartney)
I’m a loser
I’m a loser
And i’m not what i appear to be
Of all the love i have won or have lost
There is one love i should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I’m a loser
And i lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And i’m not what i appear to be
Although i laugh and i act like a clown
Beneath this mask i am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that i cry
I’m a loser
And i lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And i’m not what i appear to be
What have i done to deserve such a fate
I realize i have left it too late
And so it’s true, pride comes before a fall
I’m telling you so that you won’t lose all
I’m a loser
And i lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And i’m not what i appear to be
I am stoked to read this book!
