The Good and Beautiful Life (#02 in The Apprentice Series)$45.99
This is the second book in the Apprentice series that the author has written. This book is based on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, the author started with expounding The Beatitudes, then the rest of the book is a great exposition on the Sermon on the Mount and cover topics such as Anger, Lust, Lying, etc. The good thing about each chapter is that the author exposes the false narratives that we have about the topic from the church / secular views, and then he expounded the true narrative according to the Bible. Each chapter ends with practical application that we can do (he called it """"Soul Training""""), which is very helpful, so we learn to apply the word in our lives.
