I am very excited to begin reading the 'Jesus Manifesto' which I was chosen to read an 'advanced copy'. The book is written by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola and the theme is restoring the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ.
The back cover reads:
Christians have made the gospel about so many things—things other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, methods, techniques, programs, and formulas have all eclipsed the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. On the whole, the Christian family today is starved for a real experience of the living Christ. We know a lot about our Lord, but we don't know Him very well. We know a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living by His indwelling life. "Jesus Manifesto" presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus as not only Savior and Lord, but as so much more. It is a prophetic call to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world—and a church—that has lost sight of Him. Read this book and see your Lord like you've never seen Him before.
Since its release on June 1st, Jesus Manifesto made Amazon's top 10 bestseller list,
Impressive!
