18 Minutes with Jesus: Straight Talk from the Savior about the Things That Matter Most

by Robert Jeffress

Did you know you can read Jesus's Sermon on the Mount in about 18 minutes? Yet packed into this short talk are more life-changing and startlingly original teachings than anywhere else in Scripture. In it, Jesus dives past the surface into the heart of what we need and desire--from God, ourselves, and one another. It's the spiritual straight talk we need about the things that matter most in life.

Drawing from decades of study, Dr. Robert Jeffress breaks down Jesus's most well-known (yet least-followed) teachings about happiness, faith, relationships, sex, reconciliation, prayer, money, and more. He shows how we often misunderstand and misapply these verses and unpacks exactly what Jesus was teaching us about our own hearts and minds.

If you long to take your Christian walk to the next level, it's time to grasp these biblical truths that have the power to change your life.

Overall thought it was good! Some of the chapters I struggled with more than others. The chapter on money was the best one for me by far. If you are trying to live closer to the life and meaning Jesus has for us, I would recommend!

I took a chapter for each day and went through it that way.
Great alignment in practicality with the lessons from The Beatitudes.
