Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the meek. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Judge not, that you be not judged. All these recognisable sayings from the Sermon on the Mount have echoed through the years - from Christian and non-Christian mouths alike - but how many of us understand what Jesus was actually saying when he stood and spoke those words.

'Taking Jesus at His Word' looks at the Sermon on the Mount with fresh eyes, passage by passage, asking an important question - "how should I live the rest of my life"?

Entering this popular discussion can sometimes feel like your drowning in theological jargon, reading about 'ology' this and 'ology' that. Addison Hodges Hart offers you a life jacket with his honest, accessible, and open-minded writing style without watering down his wealth of scholarly experience. His jargon-free book creates a pathway to deeper theological understanding for the masses to understand and follow Jesus.

Those of you searching for the book that slices through theological jargon and dives deep into scholarly discussion look no further.

Now in mid-life, Addison Hodges Hart returns - bringing with him his own failures, regrets, joys, and sadness's - to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to his words. Join him as he encounters the Sermon on the Mount afresh to re-discover the beatitudes.
