Summary: Erwin's Masterpiece
Review: This book is outstanding. McManus once again challenges readers to think about their own lives and how they are living. Using what he calls, "The Character Matrix," he challenges us to go from self-focused slobs to servant-leaders. McManus presents three streams in this journey, greed -> generosity, foolishness -> wisdom, and pride - > courage. Each stream will force you to reflect on what kind of life you are living, and whether you are inwardly or outwardly focused. The key focus of Erwin's book revolves around the fact Jesus washed his disciples feet as he modeled servant-leadership to his followers. McManus argues this model still applies today. I agree. Too many books on leadership talk nothing of character, McManus turns this on its ear. His book is all about character and out of it you will be a better leader. In having the privelege of seeing McManus practice what he preaches, this is a man who is a servant-leader. Erwin pastors a church in Los Angeles called Mosaic, and serves his church well. I cannot give this book a higher recommendation than 5 stars, but it really is a 10. A+ Joseph Dworak

Summary: Well...It broke me
Review: This is McManus' third book and is directed towards inner character and passion for Christ. I could not read a chapter without examining my own life to see where I stood in areas of forgiveness, gratitude, and wisdom. I highly recommend this to you.

Summary: McManus gets back to the basics
Review: Uprising is the second book by Erwin Mcmanus that I have read. Just like "Seizing your divine moment", this book challenged my faith, and really made me contemplate my walk with God. The author does not pull any punches when he discusses what it takes to experience a revolution of the soul. I think many readers will be refreshed by his honesty and sincerity of the message.
The best aspect of this book to me is how McManus communicates the reality of what is required of us to be successful Christians. It takes our best, it takes time, and it takes a lot of hard work, discipline, and effort. But, we are all capable of it. Through his Son, God has made it possible for us to follow Him along the straight and narrow path. McManus does an excellent job of describing this path, and how to navigate it.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to successfully follow Christ. Even mature believers can learn something new, and experience the uprising that McManus describes.
