Product Description

Our culture is obsessed by lifestyle. Magazines and websites tell us what to wear, how to get fit and what to drive. But Jesus lived, and taught about, a radically different kind of lifestyle. How to deal with anger. How to handle money. What to do when faced with difficult people.

In this engaging and fascinating book, Nicky Gumbel takes a closer look at the Sermon on the Mount and presents, with his familiar mix of humour and wisdom, the way Jesus tells us to live our lives.

From the back cover of the book

Living like Jesus

How do I deal with anger? How do I handle money? How can I live well? In this book, Nicky Gumbel looks at the teachings of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount and explores how we can apply them to our lives today.
