"Jesus came to start a movement not a religion."Jesus came to start a revolutionary movement of love, not the stifling, compliantly docile religion that is far too prevalent in our world today. To Jesus, poverty, racism, economic disparity, violence, classism, sexism and all other forms of injustice and oppression cannot be tolerated in the revolutionary kingdom reign of God. The question that the "Red Letter Revolution" asks is this, "Are we willing to continue in the revolutionary path of Jesus and labour on behalf of the oppressed of our day, no matter what the personal cost? Or, will we ignore the cries of the poor or even worse, go the way of the religious institution and blindly walk our way through a world of need?"In "The Red Letter Revolution" the reader will be challenged to join Jesus' radical movement by submitting his or her life to the words of Jesus written in red that are found in certain versions of the Bible. It dreams of a global movement in which "Red Letter Christians" gather together to worship Jesus, listen to his voice and do his works. And, it lays down a practical plan in which these "red letter" groups can impact their cities, nation and world especially in the lives of the poor and oppressed.Red Letter Christianity is God's dream for every nation in our world. Are you up for the challenge to join the revolution in acting out the words of Jesus locally, nationally and globally? If you are then this book is for you.
