Synopsis
Becoming a Christian is not a magical enterprise in which we automatically become better people; a Christian must train to become the person God intended them to be. In this book, Brennan Manning teaches us how to think like Jesus, guiding the reader to discover those subjects on which Jesus did not dwell - security, sensation, and power - and revealing where Jesus focused his thought life - the Father, the disciples, the reign of God, and the world. Coming from the gentle yet compelling voice of Manning, the reader will embrace this call and revel in Manning's provocative exploration of the mind of Christ.

Customer Reviews

Are you sitting uncomfortably?
This book challenges our common way of imcomplete surrender to Jesus Christ. It exposes our tendency to hold back on our commitment to God.
It does not promote over-activity as a way to serve God. Indeed, that is one of those things that it exposes, as the author points out that such over-activity can actually hide our lack of devotion.
The book does not come from the evangelical background that I normally read. There is a broader view of Christian life, which is thought-provoking and uncomfortable at times.
This book needs to be read thoughtfully. We should urgently apply its lessons into our lives, that we might become more effective in our service, and more real in our worship.

Love of God
Both Brennan Manning books The Ragamuffin Gospel and The Importance of being Foolish, are wonderful descriptions of God's magnificent love for us and the wonderful gift of love He gave to the world in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross. No matter how low we sink God will never refuse to pick us up, brush us down and start us afresh in Jesus. Praise God.
