hrist Is ALL! Join In the Joyful Awakening to the Supremacy of God s Son David Bryant condensed and updated with Richard Ross Christ is ALL! (condensed and updated) is not a rehash of old Sunday School lessons on the life of Jesus. Quite the opposite. Christ Is ALL! (CIA) opens a new point of departure for your walk with God s Son. It explores nothing less than the full scope of His supremacy. It does so in anticipation of, and preparation for, something almost too wonderful to hope: a fresh work of God s Spirit among God s people to enlarge our vision of the reigning majesty of God s Son. The promise is poised impending bearing down upon us. It is a God-given "Christ-awakening," meant for the whole Church, in every part. The Subtitles Tell The Story In 2003, New Providence Publishers (NPP) issued to wide acclaim David Bryant s Christ Is ALL! A Joyful Manifesto On The Supremacy of God s Son. Hardback, at nearly 470 pages, a Second Edition came out in 2005. Now, in 2010, NPP presents a "new revised version," a "reincarnation," as it were, of the original book in a 176 page paperback. Working with one of the nation s most respected trainers of youth workers, Dr. Richard Ross (professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth), David Bryant has condensed, remixed and updated his book. Originally written to train pastors and Christians leaders, this revised version specifically focuses its message on inspiring and equipping day-to-day Christians in every stream of the Church. Cutting out 300 pages, however, is not the most significant development in this process. The modified subtitle is! The original CIA was tagged "A Joyful Manifesto on the Supremacy of God s Son." But this revised CIA urges "Join the Joyful Awakening to the Supremacy of God s Son." Notice the shift? Frankly, its titanic. A decade ago, many parts of Christ s Body were sleeping through a major crisis, which Bryant called a "crisis of supremacy" (analyzed in chapters here, as well). To borrow Max Lucado s metaphor, too often Jesus was seen as a computer mouse, readily available to move the cursor across the screen to click-on whatever we needed next from God. I wrote my "manifesto" to help call the Church to re-engage with the active reign of Jesus to wake-up to who He really is as God s Son, where He s leading in God s purposes and what He s doing with God s people, as well as across our land and among the nations. But things are changing. Today this revised CIA invites readers to expect, prepare for and even experience something so joyous no Jesus-follower would dare be left behind. Many call it a Christ-awakening defined as "God s Spirit using God s Word to re-introduce God s people to God s Son for ALL He is." Editors for The Economist magazine recently authored God Is Back: How the Global Revival of Faith Is Changing the World. Similarly, this revised CIA might have been renamed: CHRIST IS BACK: The Awakening of the Church That Will Change the Nation and the World (and All of Us in the Process!). Except, of course the Lord Jesus Christ is not "back." He never left! Christ is now. Ascended. Ruling. Redeeming. Triumphant. Moving sovereignly throughout His church. His reign is as undiminished in this hour as it will be the hour we stand before Him at the Climax, in the new heaven and earth. His irrevocable authority needs no re-instatement. Rather, it is many of us Christians who need restoration. It is the vision of our hearts that needs to replenished, re-conquered and re-commissioned in Him and for Him. More Than Meets The Eye: The CIA website However, there s more to the new, revised version than one might guess simply looking its cover. Because, behind this slim volume is a website packed with free resources to help Christians implement much of what David Bryant calls for. For example, when readers visit ... they can download a four-week CIA devotional guide, or a CIA small group discussion guide, or an audio book taken from parts of CIA,
