Sweet, Leonard I.
Jesus manifesto : restoring the supremacy and sovereignty of Jesus Christ / Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola. - Nashville, Tenn. : Thomas Nelson, c2010. - xxi, 206 p. ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 181-201).
Contents -- Introduction: "Who do you say that I am?" -- The occupation of all things -- A bottle in the ocean -- If God wrote your biography -- A violin called messiah -- A ditch on either side -- His face or your face? -- A collision of two empires -- The forgotten tree -- A house of figs -- Who is this lord of yours? -- Afterword: a personal letter from your lord.
Expanding on the authors' 2009 online manifesto, this insistent, impassioned essay condemns as pharisaic those preachers who forgo a Christ-centered theology in favor of a cute, singular slogan or mission. The authors urge churches to focus on the man who embodies the entire religion. To do so, readers must learn the subtle distinction between following Christ and realizing Christ already lives within them. --from publisher description
