Peter Hiett believes that much of what we call "Christian" is just imitating dance steps. We become like zombies that mimic the living, trying to dance, but we can't because we don't hear the music. In this fresh look at The Sermon on the Mount, the author says that Jesus shows us the dance steps, reveals the music, and then teaches us how to dance with Him.
When Peter (the author) was pastor of Lookout Mountain, this book was given to new visitors; it is a great introduction to a different perspective on a relationship with God. The book is different from most Christian books out there -- it isn't saccharine, preachy, or maudlin; it is direct and passionate. Think of your favorite teacher / professor you ever had in school -- the prof who was passionate about the subject and made it come alive, and explained a lot of that academic stuff that used to make your eyes cross; that is Peter, that is this book. The book is chock full of references to scripture, so you can look up passages on your own. Read the chapters like transcripts of several different sermons; it's an EASY EASY read. Recommended for people new to the study of Christianity, as well as for people who think they've heard it all before. It's a different look on a topic thousands of years old!
