This book is far more than just another contribution to biblical studies. It is not meant to be on a shelf next to other commentaries. Instead, it is to be read, studied, and received in such a way that it will bring about lasting changes in the reader's heart and lifestyle.
It covers topics that apply to daily living:marriage, divorce, prayer, money, witnessing, relationships, worry, anger, lust, giving, and so many more. Steve Hickey points out that the Sermon on the Mount is the Constitution of the Kingdom of God on Earth and the Beatitudes are the Preamble to that constitution.
