  <default_description>&lt;i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Signature of Jesus &lt;/i&gt;challenges the gospel of &quot;cheap grace&quot; and calls the church to radical discipleship. With passion and boldness, author Brennan Manning invites readers to risk living life as Jesus lived&#8212;committed to simplicity, purity of heart, and obedience to the gospel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;As a radical alternative this book is offered to Christians who want to live by faith and not by mere &#8220;religion,&#8221; 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. &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#8220;Behold,&#8221; Jesus proclaims, &#8220;I stand at the door and knock.&#8221; You may have already met him at the door&#8230;but do you truly &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; him? Have you been transformed by His furious, passionate, unexplainable love? Join Brennan Manning, the bestselling author of &lt;i&gt;The Ragamuffin Gospel, &lt;/i&gt;on a personal journey to experience Christ&amp;rsquo;s love and live with His passion.</default_description>
