|  | | The First Words of Jesus: Meditations on the Beatitudes
The first words of Jesus' teaching recorded in the New Testament are in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5. This sermon is introduced by Eight Beatitudes or "Blessed" sayings. Jesus is both the Author and the Subject of these Beatitudes. To be united by faith to Him is to share in these blessings.
This short work seeks to answer two questions:
Why are the Beatitudes positioned in the New Testament as the first teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ?
Are the Beatitudes indeed both the introduction to the person and work of Christ and the connecting link between the Old and New Testaments?
Although the book is only 55 pages, it is packed with 172 footnotes pointing to Bible passages in both the Old and New Testaments. The purpose of the footnotes is to encourage readers to study the passages in their context in order to corroborate the teaching of the text.

Little does Tillie Tilden, a Depression-era college student, realize what she is stepping into when she accepts an emergency teaching position in a southern Minnesota country school at the end of her junior year. For some strange reason, the people of this tiny rural village do not want to discuss what happened to the previous school teacher. Eventually Tillie discovers that she committed suicide because of an unwanted pregnancy. The doubts remain, however. Was it suicide or was it murder? The following spring, Tillie discovers the former teacher’s diary hidden in the wood storage room of her one-room school building. This discovery leads her to suspect murder, possibly by her own school district superintendent, the teacher’s uncle. As the school year ends, Tillie discovers who the killer is and in the process is nearly murdered herself.
