The Jesus Lifestyle: Practical Guidelines for Living Out Jesus' Teachings

by Nicky Gumbel

What does living as a Christian really look like? What changes do I need to make to the way I live my life? How does Jesus want me to live?The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' teaching on how to conduct our lives. While his original audience was a crowd of first-century Jews, his words are astutely relevant to 21st century living, particularly as modern Western cultural trends are increasingly at odds with Jesus' teaching. Laid out to follow the structure of Matthew 5-7, each chapter delves into the topics raised in these verses, Dealing with anger- Handling conflict and criticism- Managing money- Sex, marriage and divorce- The secret of true happinessWith his familiar mix of wisdom and humour, Nicky Gumbel explains Jesus' teaching and presents practical ways to apply it so Christians can follow Jesus in every aspect of their lives.

I really enjoyed doing the Alpha course and got lots out of it. I was hopeful this book would follow up and provide a continuation of those thoughts and discussions. A few of the chapters in the beginning were interesting then about a 1/4 of the way through it felt dated, irrelevant, hypocritical and misogynistic and brought up all those feelings of why and how I just can't relate.

Thoroughly enjoyed every page

Read this book on Kindle but I know I'll be buying a paperback version and dipping in and out again over the years. Beautifully written and a joy to read

I really enjoyed this book, and it has helped me gain a better insight and understanding of Jesus sermon on the mount. I am looking forward to studying this book in depth so I can gain an even better understanding of the sermon on the mount.
