Who hasn't felt stirred and unsettled after reading these words, which get to the root of the human condition?</p><br><p><strong>This follow-up to the acclaimed collection </strong><em>Called to Community: The Life Jesus Wants for His People</em> taps an even broader array of sources, bringing together prophetic voices from every era and a range of traditions to consider the repercussions of these essential words.</p><br><p><strong>More than a commentary or devotional</strong>, this book is designed to be read together with others, to inspire communities of faith to discuss what it might look like to put Jesus' teachings into practice today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><strong>A treasure chest of wisdom</strong> drawn from some of the greatest thinkers and saints the church has known.<strong> </strong>--<strong>Greg Boyd, Senior Pastor, </strong><em><strong>Woodland Hills Church</strong></em><br><br><strong>There are no words more important</strong> than the Sermon on the Mount. And I can think of no better cloud of witnesses to reflect on those words than the people in this book. It is a gift to the world.--<strong>Shane Claiborne, author, activist, and co-founder </strong><b>of</b><strong> <i>The Simple Way</i> </strong><b>and</b><strong> <i>Red Letter Christians</i></strong><br><br><strong>Beautiful and challenging? Yes, indeed</strong>. Ecumenical and faithful? Certainly so. This book... is the most delightfully curated, fully inter-denominational book we've seen in a long time. --<em><strong>Hearts & Minds Bookstore</strong></em><br><br><strong>A magnificent collection</strong> of reflections on Jesus's most familiar, and most radical, teaching. --<strong>James Martin, SJ, author of </strong><em><strong>Jesus: A Pilgrimage</strong><br><br><strong>As I read this collection</strong>, I tried to imagine the authors of the various reflections in conversation. What would Leo Tolstoy say to Karl Barth, or Francis of Assisi to Wendell Berry? The more I read, though, the more I started to imagine all of them in one place--listening to Jesus give the Sermon on the Mount. And, before long, I found myself blending into the crowd with them, hearing these strange, arresting, upending words of life. This book will prompt you to surprise, to delight, to melancholy, to argument, and, at every turn, will lead you back to Jesus. <strong>--Russell Moore, </strong><em><strong>Christianity Today</strong><br><br><strong>Moore has brought together compelling selections</strong> from more than a hundred writers to call for the formation of a fellowship of disciples who will simply live as Jesus taught us to live. I strongly recommend this book for study, reflection, and prayerful living. --<strong>Richard J. Foster, author of </strong><em><strong>Celebration of Discipline</strong><br><br><strong>From Teresa of Avila to Mother Teresa, </strong> from Martin Luther to Martin Luther King, from Francis of Assisi to Francis Chan, from Dorothy Day to Dorothy Sayers, these excerpts can deeply enrich personal study and devotion. But they are also meant to be read and discussed in community and then acted on. Prepare yourself for a healthy feast, but then prepare yourself for obedience and service in the church of our Lord Jesus Christ! --<strong>Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary</strong><br>
