An Interview with the Gospel Writers plus Heart-Scripted Theological Education

This book is no different. Few authors challenge me in my faith like Frank Viola.

Janelle Monáe: ‘I am the whole package’

This book and the stories it contains will force you to face the myth of religion and instead adopt a life of deeper dedication to God, to find your own Bethany. It sure did for me. Jesus Manifesto Thomas Nelson, — Amazon bestseller, reaching 6 on Amazon out of all 12 million titles. There cannot be enough books written about the majesties and excellencies of Christ.

To see Jesus as He is will transform us from one degree or glory to the next. Everything is about Him, for Him and to Him. I am grateful that Frank and Leonard did the work and are putting this in the lap of so many. And along the way you will rediscover, or experience for the first time, the power, prestige and primacy of Jesus Christ.

The unrelenting purpose of the Holy Spirit is to lead us into the living presence of Jesus Christ. If we follow the Spirit, Christ can become as real to us as the world was when we were sinners. Jesus Manifesto is a compass pointing toward this holy pursuit. Frank continues to challenge the church-at-large with a powerful mind, an impassioned voice, and a love for the Bride of Christ.

You need to get this book and wrestle with Frank through the biblical passages regarding our identity in Christ as His body and the mission our God has entrusted to us. But this is so new to me. Brings you creatively into the biblical story by immersing your heart and mind …. Frank Viola has been one of my favorite authors for years.

Common threads run through his books: Organic spiritual life without organizational hierarchy, and real relationships with God and each other that are free of suppressive religious tradition. We are the focus of His passionate love, and we have received the capacity to love Him in return forever. I appreciate this message so much. It is a very clear articulation of the subject and will press folks to that one thing I hold most necessary: It has moved into my top ten books.

It informs the mind with great theology. It transforms the heart because the matchless vision of Jesus and His grace. For this reason I heartily recommend it. It is now THE book on church history from the point of view of the underground, open church. The book identifies — in part or in whole — the pagan roots of many of our current church practices, as well as indicates some borrowed from earlier Jewish or, occasionally, more recent Customs. This feisty book attacks the incipient paganism that has been absorbed into historic Christianity over the years.

It exposes the syncretistic weak spots in what we assume to be basic in our way of doing church. Thoroughly iconoclastic, it is also at the same time a good apologetic for the house church movement which has strong restorationist impulses. My guess is that it will anger some readers and thrill others.

I am one of the latter. I think it is definitely worth the read even if I do think it is a tad purist in tone. Remagining Church David C. Dissent is a gift to the Church. It is the imagination of the prophets that continually call us back to our identity as the peculiar people of God. In Reimagining Church , Frank Viola is at the top of his game, showing a serene, soaring mastery of the theology of church as organism rather than organization.

True to form, this book contains a thoroughly consistent critique of prevailing forms of church. However, in Reimagining Church , Frank Viola also presents a positive vision of what the church can become if we truly reembraced more organic, and less institutional, forms of church. This is a no holds barred prophetic vision for the church in the twenty-first Century. Written from the perspective of a long-time practitioner, Frank conveys these concepts with his usual clarity and insight and covers many of the practical aspects of starting a church.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in organic church.

Frank runs The Deeper Christian Life Network which is a premium online network for mentoring and making connections with others who are like-minded and like-hearted, who want to go deeper in their relationship to the Lord.

Here are some of his most popular titles in order of their release date: Christian Book Reviews, D. Craig Keener, Professor of New Testament and Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary Frank Viola has a winsome and compelling way of drawing his readers into the fullness of loving well, learning well, and living well. John Ortberg, pastor and author I thought I knew the women in these stories well, but in this beautiful book I met each one in a fresh, personal, and profound way.

Sheila Walsh, author and speaker Inventive, engaging, compelling, and filled with freedom, this book will help you see the wonder of our Jesus more clearly. Leonard Sweet, author and professor Viola is an exuberant writer who knows his Bible. Mark Batterson, author and pastor This book exudes love for Jesus. Pete Wilson, pastor and author Few authors challenge me in my faith like Frank Viola. Ed Young, pastor and author The unrelenting purpose of the Holy Spirit is to lead us into the living presence of Jesus Christ. Most bluebirds are blue but some are nearly black.

They are still bluebirds. In reality there was no third act to the story; did he ever try to create one, to get back in touch? What happened after had an effect on my attitude to friendship. Even now, every time I get close to a friend, I think: The good thing is that now I have got to the place where I can say the anxiety out loud to them.

And then people can go: Oh, is that what you are afraid of? If McCraney never resolved that relationship, he is grateful to the film for capturing the essence of his love for the murdered Blue. If there were an Oscar for the most beautiful movie scene of the year, Chiron being taught to swim in the ocean should win hands down. As it is, Mahershala Ali, who plays the Blue character, is rightly nominated for a best supporting actor role.

He must have thought I had lost my mind — which I probably had, momentarily. I was back as a six-year-old kid: I think he found a way to bring out something that I had not seen in so long. But when people take actions, I believe that. I remember hugs from him. I think I have hugged my own father maybe three times in my life. In he came to London and created a production of Hamlet for the RSC which he toured with around schools in the capital and beyond for half a year.

I was wandering around thinking: And having conversations with him all the time. He is grateful to his mother in that, even as things were falling so badly apart at home, she never stopped encouraging him to read. That is always at the back of my head. There were other influences that made him a playwright, not a drug dealer. When McCraney was a young boy they read the whole Bible together. His grandmother was a schoolteacher. I remember once I was practising a speech of Mark Antony when I was in high school, and she was listening in the other room.

The sub-prime loans disaster actually started here.

One of the reasons he loves the film is that it has put Liberty City on the map. The day we meet is the day that Theresa May arrives in Washington, day seven of the executive order craziness. McCraney is shocked by the fact of the administration but not at all surprised. It is directed to us, people of colour, and it is directed to women. You are OK in Miami but if you drive 10 miles north or west of here there are people who will let us know we are not welcome. Ten blocks away from here there are remnants of a race wall from the s. But the attitudes and problems it portrays are not historic ones, they are here and now.

The opposition asks interesting questions about which film presents a true American romance and which deals in alternative facts.

I wonder, before I go, if McCraney has been unnerved by the acclaim the film has received, the way it has made his own story so visible. It has been good in another way too. Now I have all this energy that was behind it. Now he says there are two or three projects that he wants to get going, based in the three or four blocks around where we sit. In this sense, for Liberty City, he believes Moonlight is just the beginning.
