In the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2–12), Jesus urges us to set ourselves apart from the world, living in a counterculture with a new identity rooted in Him. The Upside Down Kingdom examines this counterintuitive wisdom and explores its relevance for today.

Author Chris Castaldo ultimately points readers to the kingdom of Christ―not as a set of rules, but as a means of bringing peace and blessing here and now.  LEARN MORE
