The theme of this practical book is the eight attitudes taught by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. These lay the foundations for a profoundly Christian world view, one in which parents and children listen and understand; managers motivate their staff; students work to good effect; and marriages are a source of joy not discord. The author draws on his years as a pastor to explore these attitudes. The examples and insights - for example, the true joy to be found in the midst of sorrow - make this a source of spiritual inspiration.
