We talk a lot about the “Sermon on the Mount,” but it’s not often we see people living it. This is why books like Living Jesus are important, helping us learn to put into practice some of the most difficult exhortations in the Bible. Randy Harris writes, “I’m not attempting to write a scholarly book on the Sermon on the Mount. I’m trying to provide a field manual for living the life Jesus wants for us” (12). Harris urges his readers to ignore the perspective of “Jesus raising the bar so high tha...more
This is a really good book. Not as good as Soul Work, but still very good. Harris challenges readers to take the Sermon on the Mount seriously, and to this end he concludes each chapter with discussion questions and exercises to help readers practice the teaching. One suggestion is to memorize the SotM in community with other believers.
Most helpful is the inclusion of a very good bibliography on the SotM. My favorite part of the book is the last chapter that moves readers towards developing a ru...more

I enjoyed this book, I did. Taking a look at the Sermon on the Mount is an idea I really like, and I love the emphasis on actually living out the teachings in this "sermon." How do these teachings apply to our life, how we are to live, how we are meant to treat others along the way? This book addresses just that. We are told on page 11 that "this book is not just a study of the Sermon on the Mount. It's...more

I have heard Randy Harris speak several times. He is definitely one of the great Christian thinkers of our generation. This book's thesis is how Christians would behave if they truly tried to live by the Sermon on the Mount. Excellent book. Deep thoughts. It makes you think and, more importantly, it will challenge you to examine your life.
I am leading a Bible study on the Sermon on the Mount, using the Life Guides curriculum. This book is a great supplement to that material. I appreciate that this book is thought-provoking and challenging while including additional questions, yet it does not feel really heavy or as if it's trying to be a commentary.
This would be a great resource for someone who wants to do an independent study of the Sermon on the Mount or who needs supplemental material for leading a Bible study.

I thought it was a good study on the sermon on the mount, I liked that he started at the end for the first chapter, pretty basic, but great for newer Christians. Randy is very sound in his belief and I look forward to reading more of his books.

Wonderful exposition on the Sermon on the Mount with a bent toward really living it out.
I received a copy of this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
The author explains, "So I'm not attempting to write a scholastic book on the Sermon on the Mount. I'm trying to provide a field manual for living the life Jesus wants for us."

A very simple, teachable and applicable review of the sermon on the mount. Randy understands the spirit of Christ's teaching well. It is not deep reading but is certainly worth reviewing.
A great read. Don't miss the material at the back of the book. Provides some practical suggestions for living Jesus. Now the real challenge begins!
