This fourth addition to the Explained series helps children ages 8 to 12 (grade levels three to seven) discover the meaning behind the eight Beatitudes-guidelines for living as Jesus taught us.

Engaging illustrations and activities for use in the classroom and beyond will help children walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
