About the Book
(from a GoodReads review): The premise of Skye Jethani’s book, What If Jesus Was Serious, is simple: WHAT WOULD THE CHRISTIAN LIFE BE LIKE IF PEOPLE TOOK JESUS’ SERMON ON THE MOUNT SERIOUSLY. If you don’t find that a scary thought, perhaps you haven’t read the Sermon on the Mount lately.
The book consists of nine parts:
- Who is Really Blessed?
- Christians and Culture
- Inside Out Righteousness
- Love In Action
- A Prayer for Losers
- Freedom from Fear
- Judging, Asking, Blessing
- Good and Bad Fruit
- Be Smart
Each part has several chapters…each beginning with the refrain: If Jesus Was Serious…
(from an Amazon review): “Skye Jethani takes a look at some of Jesus’ most demanding teachings in the Sermon on the Mount and pushes us to ask whether we’re really hearing what Christ is saying. The visual component of the book makes it memorable and enjoyable to read, and Skye’s incisive reflections make it worthwhile for any Christian.”
