180 pages
In Living Blessedly Forever, J. Stephen Yuille demonstrates how Perkins practically taught about God, joy, and the Christian life through his preaching on the Sermon on the Mount. Yuille begins with a brief account of Perkins's life and ministry, considering several factors that shaped Perkins' interpretation and application of the Sermon on the Mount. He then examines Perkins' exposition of Matthew 5-7, identifying six marks of godliness (blessedness, repentance, righteousness, sincerity, contentment, and faithfulness) and concluding with a challenge to join practice with knowledge of the word of Christ.
