In “Cultivating a Gospel Shaped Attitude,” Dr. Joseph Buchanan draws on over 20 years of experience as a Pastor and Bible teacher to explore the fundamental role the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-11) play in developing a Christ-like character. This book demonstrates that Jesus intended for the Beatitudes to be a vital part of the discipleship process by informing our understanding of the Gospel and the Christian life. By carefully cultivating these gospel shaped attitudes in their lives, believers can experience a radical transformation in their relationship with God, other believers and the world around them. This book can help move every believer to a deeper understanding of the spiritual life and the fundamental role attitude change plays in gospel transformation.
“Cultivating A Gospel Shaped Attitude” by Joe Buchanan is a much-needed addition to the literature on the Beatitudes. There are many good works available. Dr. Buchanan’s is unique in that it shows how the gospel impacts our attitudes, actions and character. Read it with blessing and practical application.”

“There is no shortage of books in this world based on the general premise that, if we adjust or eliminate our bad attitudes, our quality of life will improve. In “Cultivating a Gospel-Shaped Attitude”, Dr. Buchanan moves beyond feel-good rhetoric to focus instead on the source of a healthy attitude – in a heart aligned with the desires and teachings of Christ.”
