Synopsis

Jesus’ life was dedicated to teaching us about, and trying to get us to seek and reach, the kingdom of God. Jesus tells us the kingdom of God is where there is forgiveness, life and light, no hunger, thirst, ordeals, hardships, tears, grief, or death. This book explores Jesus’ way to the kingdom of God, including the directions that Jesus tells us to follow to reach the kingdom of God; the problems that Jesus tells us we will encounter along the way; and the strategies that Jesus offers to help us to overcome these problems and to successfully follow his directions.Quotations are new translations from the Greek texts available today. All key words are linked to the original Greek words together with their meanings and nuances, allowing readers to explore the full richness of the original Greek words and to choose the meanings and nuances that they think better suit particular quotations.This book is part of the series ‘Ways of the World’ in which Gary explores different ways of the world that have helped to shape his mind, and he suggests, the minds of many in the world today – including religious, philosophical and secular ways.
