Synopsis

James Bryan Smith believes we have bought into false notions of happiness and success. We find ourselves caught up in self-serving decisions that lead us further into the vices that cause ruin: anger, lust, lying, worry and judging. In this follow up to his first book, The Good and Beautiful God, Smith traces through the Sermon on the Mount and helps us look behind these sins to replace our false beliefs with Jesus' narratives about life in the kingdom of God.

As much as I and my group enjoyed book one of this series, I enjoyed this book even more. (It is better, however, to work through book one before this one, for sure.)
