ôSo that in everything He might have the supremacy.ö ùColossians 1:18 Christians have made the gospel about so many thingsùthings 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 don't 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 worldùand a churchùthat 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 you've never seen Him before.

Short review: I wanted more from this book. The intent is good, but I just didn't get much from it. I am all for focusing on Christ but this was more of a complaint about the church based on some fairly flimsy evidence than a real theological justification for why Christ should be the center of our theology and worship. It is not all bad, but I think the focus is a bit skewed.
