Righteousness Inside Out: The Sermon on the Mount and the Radical Way of Jesus

The faith of Jesus was once considered a distinctive way of life rather than a complex theological system. Pilgrim Heart reimagines discipleship as ndash; first and foremost ndash; a particular way of life guided by a set of simple but powerful daily practices known to the earliest disciples and the saints through the ages. This book invites readers to consider afresh the way of Jesus in light of practices that have proven to transform lives for two thousand years.

In 1994, Mike Cope and his wife Diane's lives were jolted by the death of their ten-year-old daughter, Megan. Though she was mentally disabled from birth, she had been a strong, joy-filled child who'd taught them much about what ultimately matters in life. When she died, their odyssey of loss and joy-amid-grief sharpened Mike's already intense interest in life's biggest questions. An author of four books, a blogger (four million visits in the past several years), a minister, and an editor of two magazines, Mike has for many years spoken to large audiences around the country about what really matters, and is currently teaching a class of three hundred university students each semester at a local university. Mike and Diane live in Abilene, Texas, and have been married more than thirty-one years. They have two surviving children.
