complete, detailed August 4, 2006

This book goes into Jesus' Great Sermon in great detail, studying every phrase as well as 1st emphasizing the importance of the whole. It cannot be taken out of context or out of order- our Lord made it perfect as is. It is ALL very important, even the parts I would skim over in the past, and this book is very good at pointing that out
Life changing reading for a believer March 5, 2006

Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones has preached approximately 60 sermons that makeup this book. Fortunately the writing has not removed the impact of the preaching that has produced this work. I strive to share this book with brothers and sisters in Christ for it is my belief that every member of the Body of Christ would be mightily impacted through the reading and studying of this work. The reading of this book has caused me to purchase additional writings by this author, such as; his series on Romans, and the series on Ephesians. I was first introduced to the author when I was given a two volume biography of Doctor Lloyd-Jones by Iain Murray ... another enriching experience.

I was raised in a "Christian" household but realize now that the behaviors shown were not at all Christian. It is one thing to quote a bible verse for every situation you find yourself, it is another to live the way Christ instructed.
The first chapters of this book freed me to believe again that Christianity is not just the ability to quote verse. Lloyd-Jones acknowledged all my skepticism because of the behavior I had seen Christians exhibit all my life. I found myself nodding and saying "yes, this is SO true." And it opened my heart for the truth of what Jesus had to say.
This book made me realize that I can call myself a Christian but what is truly in my heart and demonstrated in my behavior calls me something other.
I keep my student bible close by as he references many different parts and I would often find myself leaving his book to read his references. I try to read a chapter a day. I highlight, I make notes and when I'm done, I'm going to start again. Along with this book and my bible, I pray. Lloyd-Jones made me realize that I cannot exhibit Christ-like behavior of my own free will - it is only through Christ that this can happen - it is not natural behavior. My prayer is that others will see the change in me and ask me about it so I can be a light unto this world.
Additionally, I really haven't had much use for the Old Testament but I am eager to read and understand the entire bible now that this book has shown me that Jesus referenced the OT Scriptures that he expounded on them and that He actually fulfilled the prophesy of the Scriptures. I can no longer believe that the OT is irrelevant.
You will have questions answered and know what it means to accept Christ in your heart. If you are like me - when you see bible-believing, church-going people around you but you've always wondered about the mean-spiritedness, or gossipy, or judgemental, or even prejudicial behavior they exhibit - it's contradictory to Christianity and David Martyn Lloyd-Jones exposes that and frees us to not be like so many others who proclaim to know Christ but do not exhibit it in their behavior.
If you're ready to be challenged but set free, get this book today. As a side note, at around Chapter 18 - I began to also read "Christianity, The Faith that Makes Sense" by Dennis McCallum. It is a very thin book, and easy read. But it was a nice companion as it also made me understand that the ENTIRE bible is God's word and provided more incentive to know it better.
God willing you will find this review helpful and pick up this book to start your true path to Christianity.
Incredible Study August 23, 2005

This is a study badly needed by believers in our self-absorbed culture.
Until you take this portion of Scripture seriously, you cannot claim to be a follower of Jesus.

Truly, the best Christian Theology and Spiritual Growth publication ever. No other book has put me in the face of Christ's culture like Lloyd-Jone's 'Sermon On The Mount'. A humbling work. If you ever know that you will be stranded on an island, take your Bible and this book...you'll be set.
