Blessings

The title of this book says it all. Blessings flow form the book to the reader as truth is opened up in front of our eyes.

Wonderful Exposition

This book is simply a wonderful exposition of the Sermon on the mount. Scholarship is mixed with great devotional and practical insights. Many quotes from this book still ring in my ears years after reading them. The section of the book entitled "True Motive In Service" (covering Matthew 7) is just profound. I return to it again and again for insight about my own heart and how to live a true servant/Christ-like life.

Learning about Christianity

This book goes over the Sermon on the Mount. It contains many quotable lines such as "Pride feels no need." (p. 7) the author integrates a lot of Bible verbiage and imagery, showing how they illustrate the principles of this sermon.
