ABOUT
GUY STEWARD/ Author
Guy Steward is the author of five books exploring themes of theology, persuasion, belief, and human influence. His first book, Mind Control: Choosing Between Truth and Deception (1998), grew out of his brief involvement in a cult and later academic research on cults and mind control. His later works include Living the Beatitudes Today and its Study Guide (2021), published by Ambassador International, and A Harmony of Two Psalms (2024), reflecting his longstanding study of biblical texts. His most recent book is a testimonial to the life and ministry of his late wife, Pushpa. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, Guy has taught Music, English, and Art History, and has also performed professionally as a classical and flamenco guitarist.
While Mind Control: Choosing Between Truth and Deception is no longer in print, it can be accessed on Kindle at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Control-Choosing-Between-Deception-ebook/dp/B0FBJJ585T It explores the subtle but powerful ways individuals can become influenced, manipulated, and controlled by high-demand groups, cults, and authoritarian belief systems. Drawing partly from personal experience and extensive research, Guy Steward examines the psychological, emotional, and spiritual dynamics of mind control, how it operates, and why people can become vulnerable to it. The book offers practical guidance not only for those who may be under controlling influences, but also for family members, friends, pastors, and counsellors seeking to understand and help affected individuals.
Mind Control identifies common warning signs, explores the methods used by manipulative groups, and provides tools for discernment, recovery, and personal freedom. With questionnaires, case insights, biblical reflections, and practical steps toward release, the book invites readers to examine their own beliefs, boundaries, and sources of influence.
Both analytical and personal, Mind Control raises enduring questions about truth, deception, authority, and freedom—making it a thought-provoking resource for anyone interested in psychology, spirituality, and human behaviour.
Living the Beatitudes Today, considers the theoretical and practical implications of the Beatitudes. Its complementary Study Guide takes us further into the personal relevance of the Beatitudes.
A Harmony of Two Psalms is a detailed study of Psalms 2 and 91. It looks at God's message to rulers, and how believers in Christ may live under "the shadow of the Almighty".
Guy has a YouTube channel and occasionally writes his own tunes. .

GUY'S BOOK ON THE BEATITUDES
Living the Beatitudes Today
Why are the Beatitudes important? They’re not just a collection of wise old sayings. They’re much more than that.
My goal in my new book is to promote their role as keys to unlock the purpose of life.
As a teacher, I was intrigued by how Jesus introduced his first teaching session. He started with these famous sayings.
Living the Beatitudes Today is for all who wish to explore the nine opening statements of the Sermon on the Mount in depth. It answers the question of whether the Beatitudes are relevant and practical today. The companion study guide takes the keen student into an in-depth and rewarding course of study. Living the Beatitudes Today looks at how the Beatitudes are like a hinge between the Bible’s Old and New Testament.
They also practically express the two great commandments and the golden rule.
The Beatitudes are not only the basic building blocks of our spiritual life, but also the gospel itself in a nutshell. Those who accept, embrace, memorise, study, and build their lives around them, will be blessed—a promise from Jesus Himself.
Never has this message of the Beatitudes been needed as much as now. Head to the blog to find out more and keep up to date.
"The Beatitudes do not come automatically to us, neither do they come just by reading them. They need to be imparted and worked into our lives by the power of our Creator, and then worked out in our lives on a daily basis..."
