THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT - BOOK 1

The Sermon on the Mount, Book One

By Steven White

Discover how the words Jesus spoke on a hillside can shape your heart, strengthen your faith, and guide your everyday life.

What does it mean to be blessed when you are grieving? How can gentleness become strength? And how do you choose forgiveness when hurt has settled deep within your heart?

In The Sermon on the Mount, Book One, Steven White explores these questions through Scripture, personal memories, and reflections drawn from a lifetime of walking with God.

Writing as a husband, father, and grandfather, Steven shares how the teachings of Jesus have guided him through work, family life, loss, forgiveness, and seasons of renewal. His warm, conversational approach invites you to consider how these same teachings can speak into your own circumstances.
