Mocha on the Mount

By Sandra L. Glahn

Book Overview

Mocha on the Mount is part of the Coffee Cup Bible Studies, a series of Bible studies for women in compact, workbook format that examine the "life and times" of certain Bible characters and the books of the Bible that pertain to them. Each study is to be read over a four-to-six week period, and study sections are broken down into short, daily segments designed to fit reader's busy lifestyles. Understanding that time is precious, the Coffee Cup Bible Studies are patterned in such a convenient way that they can be read during brief windows of opportunity that allow for meditation and study (breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, etc.) Scripture is provided from the NET Bible (New English Translation) , making Bible study convenient for occasions when you can't carry a Bible. Sandra's unconventional thought processes regarding the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes are sprinkled throughout the study. As a result, she shatters preconceived notions about what Christ teaches in this address He delivered more than two thousands years ago.

Relevance is the key word

Relevance is the key word. I love the Coffee Cup Bible Study series. This series is written for women by a woman of wit and graciousness who has an impressive command of hermeneutics. I couldn't wait to get started with Mocha on the Mount. I've been to the place called the Mount of Beatitudes and felt as if I were back there again as the scripture unfolded. Ms. Glahn draws us into history and expands our view as she weaves...
