ENUMCLAW, Wash., Jan. 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- At first glance, Jesus' words in the beloved "Blessed are" verses in Matthew 5 are merely soothing and comforting; just what's needed for a quaint motto for that plaque on the wall. In his new book, "Papa's Voice", Dr. Charles Brown reveals the Beatitudes for what they truly are--dangerous and demanding, ready to expose hypocrisy, destroy self-made religiosity, and restore the glory of true spirituality.

In a riveting mix of modern-day parables, Bible passages, and authentic personal experience, "Papa's Voice" is aimed at the spiritually bankrupt, the used-up, the empty, and the weak who admit they don't have all the answers and don't know where to find them. It's for people who don't hide their feet of clay. It's for hungry souls who long for one meal that satisfies. It's for the broken soul looking for mercy.

Dr. Brown states, "Yet, for all their radical force, the Beatitudes offer amazing grace. Grace seeps from every word and pours out of every 'You are blessed when…' Grace empowers the weak, holds the frightened, lifts the discouraged, and welcomes the outsider. Grace carries the load. Beatitude grace is amazing, but it is not anemic. It welcomes the helpless, but has zero tolerance for the hypocrite."

Currently serving as president of Pathmaker Ministries, Inc., Dr. Brown has ministered on true spirituality as a pastor, teacher, and conference speaker for more than forty years. His down-to-earth style communicates Beatitude truth clearly and lovingly. He has also provided a detailed discussion guide for individuals or groups who wish to dig even deeper.

The reader of "Papa's Voice" will discover just that--the compassionate Voice that challenges and encourages the Believer to abandon the artificial for the genuine.
