Prepare yourself for a philosophical and theological deep-dive into the most famous sermon ever given with Captivated by the King and His Kingdom: A Personal Encounter with the Sermon on the Mount, by Linden Wolfe.
If you've spent any time at all in Church, you've heard messages on The Sermon on the Mount, the celebrated words of Christ from the book of Matthew, chapters five, six, and seven. But you've not heard or read one like this. There are several things that sets Linden Wolfe's work apart from others you may have read on this subject.
First, this isn't a book that preaches at you; the words of Christ speak for themselves. Mr. Wolfe simply writes what he has learned from living a life of faith, mistakes he's made, and what he's been shown spiritually during his walk with God. Mr. Wolfe is very transparent, and uses memorable and personal stories to drive his points.
Next, Mr. Wolfe offers not just a deep understanding of each passage from the famed sermon, but practical ways to apply the teachings to our lives today. He doesn't gloss over at the surface level the renowned words of Christ. He instead dives into the core meanings behind not just passages but individual phrases. Each section covers one of the crux concepts Christ was conveying to us. Then, after breaking it down and expounding, we're given an "Apply It" section so we can actually use the knowledge we're given. Challenging us with further Scripture reading and memorizing, we're given tools from all over Scripture to work with in conjunction with the teachings of Christ.
Thirdly, what I really appreciated about this work was that it brings together the Bible as a whole. God's Word is an amazing thing--more than sixty books written by forty authors over different centuries and under several different tyrannies and oppressions. And yet it all tells the same story. What Linden Wolfe does, quite skillfully, is relate the words of Jesus to passages all throughout Scripture, from the beginning of the Old Testament to the end of the New. This book will help you to see how, in so many ways, Christ actually summed up everything God wanted man to know and understand about Him and his Son.
A few years ago I was in Israel and stood on the spot overlooking the Sea of Galilee where it is believed Christ may have given His renowned sermon. I wish I had read Captivated by the King and His Kingdom: A Personal Encounter with the Sermon on the Mount before then. It would have given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of what Christ was saying to the privileged people that day who heard it live.
