Are you hungry to hear God's voice, but don't know how? Jesus
Speaks teaches readers how to listen for the voice of Jesus and how
you can grow in your ability to recognize and respond to his voice
daily. While the Lord frequently speaks to us, we don't really hear
his voice until we recognize it. In Jesus Speaks, Sweet and Viola
unpack the many ways the Lord speaks to his people today by
exploring how the disciples interacted with the risen Jesus-from
the Gospels to Revelation. They demystify the process in a warm,
practical way, providing insights on how you can recognize the
voice of Jesus in your own life. Separated into two sections, the
first provides a big-picture look at how the resurrected Jesus
spoke in the New Testament, while the second contains short,
actionable chapters filled with scriptural quotes and references.
Both sections work together to help you recognize and respond to
the voice of Jesus in your everyday life. Readers will be able to:
Gain a firm foundation in the scriptures, learning how Jesus spoke
to his disciples Dispel myths and misinformation surrounding what
it means to hear the voice of Jesus today Grow the ability to
recognize God's voice and learn how to respond Essential for
Christians seeking to improve their relationship with Jesus, Jesus
Speaks is the long-awaited third volume in the JESUS trilogy: Jesus
Manifesto; Jesus: A Theography; and Jesus Speaks.

Introducing a new kind of Jesus biography: Transform the tired and
familiar way you have read the Bible into an electrifying journey
of rediscovering Christ. In this compelling work, authors Leonard
Sweet and Frank Viola reclaim the entire Bible as a gripping
narrative about Jesus Christ. Jesus says, "The Scriptures point to
me!" (John 5:39 NLT). But what does that mean exactly? Virtually
every other "Jesus biography" begins with the nativity account in
Bethlehem. In this innovative book, Sweet and Viola begin before
time, in the Triune God, and tell the complete interconnected story
of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. Jesus: A Theography is the
first book ever written to combine historical Jesus studies with
biblical theology, crafting together one breathtaking saga that
tells the Jesus story in both Old and New Testaments. This
groundbreaking book clearly demonstrates that every bit of
Scripture is part of the same stunning drama - what the authors
refer to as the theography of Jesus Christ. Leonard Sweet and Frank
Viola (authors of Jesus Manifesto and Jesus Speaks) unfold the
greatest story ever told in a fresh and invigorating way. Whether
you are a seasoned Christian scholar, a new believer, or someone
who is intrigued by Jesus, this book unveils the discoveries of a
lifetime, transforming the tired and familiar way we have read the
Bible into an electrifying journey of rediscovering Christ. Jesus:
A Theography: Tells the complete and interconnected story of Jesus,
from Genesis to Revelation Combines historical Jesus studies with
biblical theology Proves that the main subject of the Old Testament
is Jesus Christ Second, standalone volume in the JESUS trilogy
Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola set out on a journey of discovery
with one goal: to help restore the sovereignty of Jesus Christ
above all else. This led to their national bestseller, Jesus
Manifesto. Two years later, they released Jesus: A Theography,
beautifully establishing that all Scripture unveils a person-the
Lord Jesus Christ. In 2016 they released the final volume in the
trilogy: Jesus Speaks. All three volumes of the JESUS trilogy will
lead the reader to a deeper understanding of Christ.
Our decisions determine our lives. Invest in a company that goes
bankrupt and you lose your life savings. Say the wrong thing in an
interview and you miss the job of the lifetime. Make no decisions
and you miss every opportunity. In today's rapidly changing world,
the cost of poor decisions (and no decisions) is higher than ever.
In How to Make Good Decisions Wisely, author and scholar Alan Ehler
lays out a clear approach to making big decisions based on the
Bible and recent discoveries in neuroscience and decision science.
He presents a simple, four-step process that can be followed to
make any kind of decision, whether personal, professional, or
relational. Making big decisions can rewrite lives, careers,
families, churches, and businesses. A lot is at stake. Learn how to
choose well.
Getting a Christian worldview is all the rage these days. But how
about a Christian worldlife? Got one of those? Leonard Sweet wants
to show you the ins and outs of living an old-fashioned faith in
these newfangled times. In his engaging, symphonic, thought-bytes
style, Sweet invites you to . . . Mezuzah your inverse * Do dirt
and do the dishes * Cycle to church Give history a shove * Cheer
rivals from the bench * Dance the salsa SoulSalsa unpacks biblical
faith in ways that can change how you live in the real world. You
can be a man or woman who walks the ancient path of a disciple in
the world of the future. Because the NEW future is NOW--and now is
the time to practice the '17 Lifestyle Requirements for Membership
in the Postmodern Body of Christ.' It s no longer enough to say
'Say Amen, Somebody.' It s time to 'Dance the Salsa, Everybody
'--in a culture that desperately needs to see your moves."
A practical guide for those struggling to build a community of
believers in a culture that wants to experience belonging over
believing Who is my neighbor? Who belongs to me? To whom do I
belong? These are timeless questions that guide the church to its
fundamental calling. Today terms like neighbor, family, and
congregation are being redefined. People are searching to belong in
new places and experiences. The church needs to adapt its
interpretations, definitions, and language to make sense in the
changing culture. This book equips congregations and church leaders
with tools to: * Discern the key ingredients people look for in
community * Understand the use of space as a key element for
experiencing belonging and community * Develop the "chemical
compound" that produces an environment for community to
spontaneously emerge * Discover how language promotes specific
spatial belonging and then use this knowledge to build an effective
vocabulary for community development * Create an assessment tool
for evaluating organizational and personal community health
Jesus Manifesto presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus, seeking to
restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world-and a
church-that has lost sight of Him. Christians have made the gospel
about so many things-things other than Christ. Religious concepts,
ideas, doctrines, strategies, and methods that begin to eclipse the
beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. We
know a lot about our Lord, but we don't know Him very well. We know
a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living
by His indwelling life. Jesus Manifesto provides clarity on the
most important points of our faith. It is a prophetic call to
restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world and
church that has lost sight of Him. This manifesto emphasizes ten
crucial areas of restoring the supremacy of Jesus Christ, noting:
Christians don't follow Christianity; they follow Christ Christians
don't proclaim themselves; they proclaim Christ Christians don't
point people to core values; they point people to the Cross
Christians don't preach about Christ; they preach Christ Read this
book to see your Lord like you've never seen Him before and restore
the sovereignty of Jesus in your life.
"FOLLOW ME."
These two words echo the heart-defining call of our Lord Jesus
Christ to his disciples.
Sadly, this life-changing invitation has lost much of its original
meaning. Immersed in a society that worships success, we have
succumbed to a trendyfixation with leadership. In "I Am a
Follower," author Leonard Sweet explains how Christians in a
twenty-first-century corporate-obsessed culture have shifted away
from a Jesus art of following toward a popularized form of
leading.
Through a colorful melange of practical applications, imaginative
metaphors, and probing biblical exposition based in gospel truth,
Sweet reveals that the summons of Jesus and the message of the New
Testament point clearly to an emphasis not on imitation but on
incarnation, not on leading but on following.
Join Sweet on an exciting and intentional journey from leadership
cult to followership culture. Discover for yourself the way, the
truth, and the abundantlife of following Jesus Christ and what it
truly means to "Follow Me"
"At times I felt like I was reading Jeremiah, challenging the
shepherds of Israel. This is a much needed and long overdue
book."--BOB ROBERTS, senior pastor, Northwood Church
"If there was ever a leader who could convince me that it's really
never been about leading, that would have to be Len Sweet. May we
all, like Len, become followers."--MARK BATTERSON, lead pastor,
National Community Church
The gospel presents a life-changing NUTS wisdom that conflicts with
normal ways of making sense of the world. There is the World
According to Normal. There is the World According to NUTS . . .
where NUTS is an acronym for Never Underestimate the Spirit. The
wisdom of Jesus is a NUTS wisdom.-From the book All people are
different, but some are more different than others. Christians are
meant to be the most different of all. Yet we often "normalize"
God. We judge what is a successful Christian and a successful
church by the world according to Normal, not the world according to
NUTS, the wisdom of Jesus.In Jesus Drives Me Crazy!, Leonard Sweet
reminds us of the "crazy wisdom" of Christ and how our lives and
our churches can and should be different from the way "normal"
people live. He says, "Jesus wants to drive you crazy . . . crazy
in love with God, with life." Jesus Drives Me Crazy! challenges you
to make the upside-down wisdom of God your own, inspiring you to
live an extraordinary Christian life that does not conform to the
world, but transforms the world.When you truly grasp the freeing
truth that we do not have to conform to this world, then you can
become the crazy, zany, unpredictable, but powerful force for Jesus
you were intended to be. Jesus Drives Me Crazy! shows how, by
losing your mind, you can find your soul.

circumstances and bizarre discoveries lead Paul to London, where he

of characters, motives, and symbolic traditions intersect as Paul
and Angela delve into forgotten traditions and lost meanings.

about their own faith and the nature of truth and hope. Suddenly
they find themselves positioned either to lead humanity into a new
future or to watch as the earth dissolves into total destruction.

love and discovery that blurs the lines between fact and fiction.
It will lead you into a world where only you can determine the
future of the earth as we know it.
