THE TEACHINGS AND SAYINGS OF JESUS CHRIST

About the Book

This book is a compilation of some of the teachings and sayings of Jesus Christ on a wide variety of subjects ranging from adversity, arrogance, and atonement, to dishonesty, faithfulness, greed, patience and numerous others. It contains the essential nuggets for a life of peace with God and man.

As individuals, communities or nations, attentiveness to the teachings and sayings of Jesus Christ is our mariner's compass, our assurance that we are navigating the unpredictable and uncharted sea of life in accordance with the rules and guidelines spelt out by the Master Himself.

This publication therefore aims at providing the reader with the bearings for living confidently in this disoriented, topsy-turvy world, whatever his station or condition, without giving in to pride or despair.
