Sermon on the Mount: Kingdom Life in a Fallen World (Ferguson)
Description
‘Offers the perfect blend of scholarship and inspiration…a truly valuable book’ — BOOK JOURNAL
The Sermon on the Mount answers some of the most pressing questions that every Christian encounters: What is a Christian? Does the law of God still have a place in the Christian life? How can I learn to pray? How can I learn self-discipline? Why am I a prisoner to anxiety?
The Sermon on the Mount deals with these issues in a crisp, concise, and readable way. It provides an ideal introduction to Jesus’ great manifesto for life in his kingdom.
