Jesus Manifesto by Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola


"Who do you say that I am?"

I received Jesus Manifesto: Restoring the Supremacy and Sovereignty of Jesus Christ by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola several months back.  The authors do a good job using Scriptures to explain who Jesus is and how the Church in America is missing out on what Christ truly wants us to be and do.  Basically we have lost our first love by making Christianity into many different things when it should be all about Christ.  

It took me almost a month to finish the book.  I didn't just "love it" or find it an easy read, but I did gain some insight from what the authors had to say.  Maybe it was too scholarly for me?  I have read books on the same topic I would recommend before this one, but if you are truly searching for direction in your walk with Christ and want to be reminded of his sovereignty and glory, I would recommend this book to you. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my opinion.

The book gets 2 stars our of 5 from me - **!
