Living dangerously. That was one of many themes in Brennan Manning’s superb book THE SIGNATURE OF JESUS. Manning presents a radical alternative to the normal everyday, ho-hum, “comfort zone” mentality lived out by so many “so-called Christians.”
His final statement in the book:
“The Signature of Jesus 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, [for those] who see Christianity neither as a moral code or a belief system but 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.”
