Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/DRM-free) Lucky: How the Kingdom Comes [Xtian Faith Advice]

[ATDrake]

Lucky: How the Kingdom Comes to Unlikely People by Glenn Packiam is his heartwarming spiritual encouragement manifesto taking inspiration from the downtrodden, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

Apparently this has previously been offered free in 2013, but it seems to have never been mentioned here on MR so we'll just treat it as a new offering for the purposes of the daily non-repeat thread count.

Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), iTunes & Google Play (both available to Canadians), ChristianBook (DRM-free ePub available to select countries), and may also be free via other venues listed on the publisher's web catalogue page, where you can watch a video of the author talking about his book.

Description
Glenn Packiam redefines the word lucky in the context of Jesus’ beatitudes in Luke’s Gospel.

Lucky uncovers how the poor, hungry, mourning and persecuted are blessed because the Kingdom of heaven—its fullness, comfort, and reward—is theirs in spite of their condition. This is Christ’s announcement: the Kingdom of God has come to unlikely people.

Like the people Jesus addressed, we are called lucky not because of our pain or brokenness but because in spite of it, we have been invited into the Kingdom. The trajectory of our lives have been altered. What’s more, we now have a part in the future that God is bringing. Like Abraham, we have been blessed to carry blessing, to live as luck-bearers to the unlikely and unlucky.
