So that in everything He might have the supremacy.

Colossians 1:18

Christians have made the gospel about so many thingsthings other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, methods, techniques, formulas, its and things have all eclipsed the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. On the whole, Christians today are starved for a real experience of the living Christ. We know a lot about our Lord, but we dont 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 worldand a churchthat has lost sight of Him.

Every revival and restoration in the church has been a rediscovery of some aspect of Christ in the process of answering the ultimate question that Jesus put to His disciples: Who do you say that I am?

Read this book and see your Lord like youve never seen Him before.

PRAISE FOR JESUS MANIFESTO

Of all the doctrines, debates, and decisions throughout the history of Christianity, none has ever been as important as what we do with one simple question posed by Christ: Who do you say that I am? It is with this question that Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola begin a journey with the reader that leads to the very essence of the Christian faith.

Whether you are a seminary professor or someone seeking answers about Christ for the first time, Jesus Manifesto promises to illuminate the truth about the greatest personality to ever walk the earth. And along the way you will rediscover, or experience for the first time, the power, prestige and primacy of Jesus Christ.

Todays church desperately needs that trumpet-like certain sound heard when Jesus own voice is heardjust as He spoke in the Revelation. Our hour is similar to that; one of doctrinal drift, double entendre, and deepening deception, both in the church as in the world. Jesus Manifesto calls us to Jesus person and position as Lord of the church, to hear Him call us to truths clarity, powers purity, and obediences reward, to restore that saltness that will keep His church alive and penetrating in its impact.

As we move further into the 21st century, it is becoming evident that there are many voices rising with the intent of redefining the real Jesus of the Gospel. Yet these voices reveal a real Jesus that is far less the Jesus of Scripture and far more a Jesus made in their image and in their likeness. What is needed in this hour is a clear, compelling, and uncompromised declaration that Jesus is more than a spiritual guide, more than a sacrificial leader, more than one of many ways to God. He is indeed the Supreme Ruler of All Creation, and He is Lord of All. As many are defecting the ranks of the faithful for a gospel of their own making, we are indebted to Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola for unhesitatingly issuing a call for the recovery of the true testimony of Scripture, that Jesus indeed is Sovereign Lord, and that He reigns supreme over all the universe, and there is no other God but Him.

In a day when much of Christianity seems to have missed the main point of our faith, Jesus Manifesto brings us back to center. Sweet and Viola have given us a matchless presentation of Jesusone that combines poetic artistry, gripping metaphor, and profound insight. The book masterfully reflects what the Spirit is saying to the church today.

Brilliant, refreshing, soaringand thats just the first chapter! This book is destined to be a classic devotional volume that will inspire generations of Jesus-followers. The line from the song goes, you can have all this world, but give me Jesus. This book does just that.

Amid the many voices calling the church to the work of justice, Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola call us first to Jesus from which all justice flows. Together they help us see how the vision of Christs supremacy makes possible any and all faithful engagement with the world. There are times when a profound and significant truth needs to be said simply. The Jesus Manifesto does just that with an intensity appropriate to the message! I applaud it, and I recommend it.

Evangelicals have tended to focus on the work of Christ to the exclusion of valuing the life and model of Jesus as archetypal Christian. By helping us realign ourselves around the magnificent Person at the heart of our faith, this book goes a long way toward correcting that imbalance. Devout, intelligent, challenging, Len and Frank deliver. I sign the manifesto!

Jesus Manifesto is a priceless treasury revealing the riches of Christ in unique depths yet written with simple language. Prophetic and poignant, Sweet and Violas words soar high as they glorify the greatest Person in the universeour Jesus Christ.

Whenever Len Sweet writes something, I am challenged and learn so incredibly much. Whenever Frank Viola writes something, I am challenged and learn so incredibly much. So with both Len and Frank writing together here, you are reading an exponential Jesus-focused challenge and learning experience. They write not just words and sentences, but this is seriously a Spirit-shaped breath of fresh air for the church at large, in all her beautiful and messy forms and shapes, and for Christians of every age and diversity.

From now on my friend Frank Viola will not be known solely by his proposals regarding the church. Len Sweet, my teacher, will not merely be known as a brilliant and original professor. With the writing of Jesus Manifesto , they will now be known as followers, broadcasters, ambassadors, and articulators of Jesus. There is no higher role in life. I can offer no higher compliment. Best yet, this role can be taken on by us all: doctors and nurses, policewomen and firemen, teachers and counselorsyou name it. In the Jesus Manifesto there is room for everyone.

Do you ever feel that Jesus has left the building? The Christian religion promises so much in terms of power, forgiveness, joy, and intimacy, but sometimes it feels that those promises are just words. Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola have a radical and Biblical solution, to wit, Jesus. Read this book and youll find your heart strangely warmed. That warmth is Him... Jesus. This book could change your life and the lives of everyone who cares about the church. I rise up and call the authors blessed!

Gandhi once said, Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. Maybe if we actually knew Christ, we would reflect Him more. Sweet and Violas Jesus Manifesto is the quintessential reintroduction.

Jesus Manifesto is a passionate invitation to fall head over heels in love with the Son of God. Prepare to be shaken. Prepare to be awakened. And prepare to answer the call to follow Jesus with wholehearted abandon. After reading this book, youll never be the same.

Margaret Feinberg
Author, Scouting the Divine

This little book is a fresh and elegant portrayal of Jesus Christ thats epic and timely. It puts a pulse on the main problem in the church today and uniquely stirs both heart and head as it points us to the only solution, Jesus.

I look for books that call us to love Jesus and make His name more widely known. In Jesus Manifesto , Sweet and Viola ask us to step away out of the Youniverse (their word) of narcissistic religion and away from the pop-culture Jesus who is just a nice man. Throughout the book, they exalt Jesus as the divine Savior and ask the church to do the same. I believe this book will spark a renewed love for Christ by pointing us to the deep mystery of His person. You will be motivated to love and serve more deeply as your life is focused on Jesus the Messiah.
