This book is a valuable resource for anyone striving to better understand the Sermon on the Mount and **implement its teachings** in their lives. It helps followers of Jesus Christ strengthen their trust in Him, keep His commandments, and ultimately gain the prize of everlasting life.

“The teachings of Jesus Christ provide profound understanding and distinct direction concerning the relationship of good and evil in God's plan for the redemption of his children.”
— Daniel K. Judd

“The Sermon on the Mount has inspired and lifted millions of people throughout the globe and through the centuries, but it has special relevance to those who have come out of the world by covenant into the marvelous light of Christ.”
— Robert L. Millet

“Latter-day scripture provides windows to a deeper understanding of the Lord's words that are recorded in Matthew chapter 5 through 7. The Book of Mormon contains a similar sermon given to the Nephites that clarifies and expands on the original. We also have other scriptures that give us additional insights.”
— Richard D. Draper

“The Psalms greatly influenced both the author of the sermon, Jesus Christ, and the sermon's chief New Testament chronicler, Matthew.”
—Andrew C. Skinner
