Product Description

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.

Customer Reviews

Be Forever Changed
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.

True insight into our lifelong walk with Jesus.
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.

radical discipleship
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33) In The Signature of Jesus, Brennan Manning teaches us all what radical discipleship looks like: the Cross of Christ. It is a great book about following Jesus. If your load is heavy and your strength is beginning to fail, I recommend the first thing you do is rest in Jesus' power and strength; then get this book. It'll give you some reasons to get up and keep on keepin on; and in so doing, share not only in the Cross of Christ, but also His overcoming of the world.
