Jesus Manifesto

I was a bit skeptical of this book because of the title. I thought it might be an attempt to redefine Jesus for the postmodern church. I was gladly mistaken after reading the first chapter. The author’s passion to return to a pure understanding of and relationship with Jesus Christ was overwhelming from start to finish. There were many times I found myself in tears yearning for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ while flipping page-to-page. Frank and Leonard are nonconformists to the routine of church. They strip away tradition and orthodoxy to reveal why we are Christians. This book is not a modern remake, but a profound rediscovery of Jesus Christ.

Though I received this book for free as a reader’s copy from Thomas Nelson, I can honestly say that this book has changed my life and spurred me to see Jesus in everything that I do. I am not required to do so, but I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to regain a proper view of Jesus and place him as sovereign in their life. I have been inspired once again to give it all up and start living my life with Jesus on the throne and me on the cross.
