Book Description

January 1, 1996


The Signature of Jesus
challenges the gospel of "cheap grace" and calls the church to radical discipleship. With passion and boldness, author Brennan Manning invites readers to risk living life as Jesus lived—committed to simplicity, purity of heart, and obedience to the gospel.

As a radical alternative this book is offered to Christians who want to live by faith and not by mere “religion,” for those who recognize that many of the burning theological issues in the church today are neither burning nor theological; who see Christianity neither as a moral code or a belief system but as a love affair; who have not forgotten that they are followers of a crucified Christ; who know that following him means living dangerously; who want to live the gospel without compromise; who have no greater desire than to have his signature written on the pages of their lives.

“Behold,” Jesus proclaims, “I stand at the door and knock.” You may have already met him at the door…but do you truly know him? Have you been transformed by His furious, passionate, unexplainable love? Join Brennan Manning, the bestselling author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, on a personal journey to experience Christ’s love and live with His passion.

5.0 out of 5 stars True insight into our lifelong walk with Jesus., September 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Signature of Jesus (Paperback)
God spoke to me through the writings of Brennan Manning. Going through spiritual darkness, myself, it pulled me through to the light. It gives one the revelation of "dying to self", not just to the "wrongs" but to the self-imposed "rights". "The Signature of Jesus" causes one to look deeply inside to evaluate their relationship with the Father through the Son and examine self-centeredness and self-gratification, leading them to renounce such and be carried into living daily grace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be Forever Changed, June 13, 2000
By 
Brent Hutchinson (Lexington, Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Signature of Jesus (Paperback)
Manning's look at radical discipleship truly changed the way I looked at life as a Christian. There is nothing about the life of Christ which was mediocre. To follow Christ is to live and think radically. Manning paints a masterpiece in proclaiming the mission, responsibility, plight, and discipline of what it means to be a Christ-follower.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a book for spectator Christians, April 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Signature of Jesus (Paperback)
I find it appropriate that the most recent review is negative for precisely the reason that Manning writes: Christians would rather "read the map" of Scripture than "visit the place" that Scripture maps out so clearly: authentic, passionate, cross-carrying, self-denying, joy-bearing discipleship.

If you want to live in the world of "theology" - the study OF God - rather than in the kingdom of God where Christians actually live the Word of God that they study, then do not pick up this book.

Brennan's approach is largely "un-Catholic" despite what you may assume of his background.

I highly recommend this book for all Christians who have grown weary of studying God and talking about faith and are now ready to be challenged through the Scriptures to walk with God and live in faith.
