Daily devotions work wonders. In this fine collection of reflections on the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Garner encourages us to meditate upon Jesus's words, consider their meaning, put them into practice, and pray for the Lord's blessing in the midst of work and life. A verse, a reflection, a question, a practice, and a prayer will greet you, as you travel for a month with Jesus, putting his preaching into practice.

Reviews for Practicing What Jesus Preached

"""If only. If only Christians would live the way Jesus described in his Sermon on the Mount. If only we would live the way Jesus lived. To realize that intoxicating possibility we need to go beyond reading to action. Stephen Chapin Garner's Practicing What Jesus Preached is the book I choose as my guide for that journey."" --Wesley J. Wildman, professor of philosophy, theology, and ethics, Boston University School of Theology ""In language precise and wise, Stephen Chapin Garner gives readers a generous invitation to come to know Jesus better. For both a curious questioner and a mature believer, this book offers the opportunity to walk day by day into a deeper relationship with Jesus--not the mythic Jesus of the latest news cycle or the far-off Jesus of academic study--but the Jesus of the Gospels and the hope of all who long for liberation. This book makes for an excellent gift and guide."" --Laura E. Everett, executive director, Massachusetts Council of Churches ""Many people of faith are smugly secure in the knowledge that their personal lives and the ways that we order ourselves on this broken, beautiful planet are aligned with the will of the Holy One. Clearly, I disagree. And so does my friend Stephen Chapin Garner. Chapin takes us on a prayerful journey with Matthew's Jesus, a journey that reminds us that more is required of us all."" --William H. Lamar IV, pastor, Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington, DC"
