When I read the title: Jesus Manifesto, I thought great one more book about a persons opinion of who they think Jesus is. I then thought wouldn't it be great to finally read a book that uses the Bible to get its context for who Jesus is. GOOD NEWS! This book is the one. It starts out with a good look at the book of Colossians. It takes the Apostle Paul's words as the groundwork for the rest of this well written book. It does not use the authors opinion of who Jesus is or might be, but uses scripture to set that stage. That is refreshing. It takes you on a journey through the attributes of Jesus past and present and goes a long way to explain our right standing with Jesus if we belong to Him.
This is an important book, in a world where everyone has their own opinion of who they want Jesus to be. This book gives us an accurate look of who He really is according to the Bible. It is hard hitting and no punches pulled. I t will really challenge those of us from a from a traditional background where Jesus was more about morality and religion than a true life changing force.
For those that are hearing about Jesus for the first time, it will be very revealing about the true JESUS. Enjoy this great ride of soul searching and a calling to the real Jesus.
