Description

“Among Jesus’ teachings, the Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most beloved, the best known, the least understood, and the hardest to obey,” says Daniel Doriani. His skillful exposition and gripping application of the sermon will help readers realize in thought and in life the character of true disciples.
