The End of Me

Where Real Life in the Upside-Down Ways of Jesus Begins

By: Kyle Idleman

Narrated by: Mark Smeby

Are you sometimes perplexed with Jesus’s teaching? Do you really want what he wants? Bestselling author Kyle Idleman reveals that the key to the abundant life Jesus promised lies in embracing His inside-out way of life.

As he examines Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, Kyle unpacks the many counter-intuitive truths, including: brokenness is the way to wholeness, mourning is the path to blessing, and emptiness is required in order to know true fullness. Ultimately you will discover how Jesus transforms you as you begin to live out these paradoxical principles. Because only when you come to the end of yourself can you begin to experience the full, blessed, and whole life Jesus offers.

Critic reviews

"In his newest work, Idleman ... dissects the Beatitudes, guiding Christians toward the oblique realities that underlie many of Christ's maxims. Brokenness is indeed the way to wholeness, mourning is the path to blessing, and utter emptiness has to come before true fullness can be recognized and grasped. In two parts, Idleman lays out in detail how walking with Jesus to the end of oneself is the beginning, middle, and end of finding the real life of abundance as described in the Beatitudes. Ideman's wit and contagious humor alone make this a page-turner."

Great Story - Error in Audiobook

I was exceptionally impressed with how well this book convicted me. I will be taking all of these lessons and applying them directly to my life. My only concern was the audiobook playback had an error where the entire back half of the book was played in Chapter 7, then repeated again separately afterwards. No issue with the book itself, great material and thought provoking!
