Description

Most people have heard of the Sermon on the Mount and are aware of some of its contents yet it is often a miss-understood sermon; people see the 'niceness' of Jesus' words and are not aware of the radical nature of what he taught. It is a description of the kind of life that is to be lived by Jesus' disciples. It is a call to live for the things of heaven rather than the temporary satisfaction of worldly things. It is also a call to abandon any dependence on earthly status or riches and instead develop a life dependant upon God and concern for others.

It was designed to shatter our self-confidence and lead us to repentance. It is the opposite of modern self-ishness and a call to godly self-lessness, it tells us to get up and start changing our lives to conform to the quality of life demanded by our master and teacher, Jesus.


Reviews

"...and Michael Eaton's re-examination of the sermon on the mount, The Way that Leads to Life, which RT Kendall says is "superior to anything written on the subject"."

Christianity


"Anything Dr. Michael Eaton writes is worth reading, but his treatment of the Sermon on the Mount is equal, if not superior, to anything written on the subject....I have used it in preparation for my own preaching on the subject; I wouldn't proceed without it! No church leader or layman should be without it...."

R. T. Kendall ~ Previously minister at Westminster Chapel, London

What a revelation, this book changed my understanding of The sermon on the Mount. It is a must read as far as I am concerned. Excellent.
