Jesus said: Don’t just avoid murder, avoid anger. Don’t just avoid adultery, avoid lustful thoughts. Be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

If these "hard sayings" feel impossibly high, you are having the correct spiritual reaction. Jesus set the standard so high for one reason: to prove that you can’t meet it on your own.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a new law to obey; it is a mirror designed to drive you to the grace of Christ.

In The Beauty Behind The Hard Sayings, theologian and writer Ritwik Baxter guides you through the most demanding teachings of Jesus, revealing the profound, life-giving truth hidden beneath the challenge.

Inside, you will discover:

The Power of Emptiness: Why the Beatitudes are not a "Spiritual Checklist" but a Divine Declaration that qualifies the weak and broken for the Kingdom.
Identity, Not Activity: How to be "Salt and Light" without the stress of performance, simply by staying connected to the Source.
The Great Relief: Why Christ demanded a righteousness that "exceeds the Pharisees" to dismantle your self-reliance and clothe you in His perfection.
The Cure for Contempt: How dealing with anger in your heart is a powerful act of life-giving obedience that protects your peace.
The Dignity of Non-Retaliation: The true meaning of "turning the other cheek" and how it becomes an act of spiritual courage and strength.
The Ultimate Cure for Anxiety: Why worry is diagnosed as "little faith" and how seeking the Kingdom automatically brings provision.

Stop treating Jesus' words as impossible demands. Start seeing them as a blueprint for the life the Holy Spirit is ready to live through you.

Find the freedom, the rest, and the true meaning in the greatest sermon ever preached. Get your copy of The Beauty Behind The Hard Sayings today.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
