Living the Sermon on the Mount

Glen H. Stassen. Living the Sermon on the Mount: A Practical Hope for Grace and Deliverance.
Hardcover with dust jacket: 201pp. John Wiley & Sons 2006.

More than two thousand years have passed since Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, and yet these powerful words still capture the imagination of Christians and non-Christians throughout the world. But they are also daunting--how can ordinary mortals live such a challenge? The author helps us see that the revolutionary ideas in the Sermon on the Mount about loving and caring for each other, living in peace, and acting justly are not unattainable ideals but a recipe for wholeness and healing in our human relationships and deliverance from the vicious cycles in which we get stuck.--from the dust jacket.
