Oswald Chambers approaches the teachings in Matthew 5–7, the Sermon on the Mount with the same tender and compassionate voice that all of his books convey.
Many describe this book as awe-inspiring, and even though this work has also been described as a challenging, insightful, profound and edifying read, his ability to “translate” the passage in a relatable way is commendable.
Born in 1874 to a devout family in Aberdeen, Scotland, Chambers grew up in Stoke-on-Trent very much involved in the church, as his father was a pastor. He was actually offered a scholarship to attend the Royal College of Art (then the National Art Training School) after studying there briefly but luckily for Christians everywhere, he declined in order to devote his life to ministering and teaching.
