books by Brennan Manning     books:       The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out136 reviews Brennan Manning Multnomah Books, 1993 An Excellent Read Brennan Manning discusses the love of God in a very personal way. The key word here is "personal." He does not spend time analyzing the original terms or the background of passages referring to the love of God. Instead, he works to help the reader understand the love of God in a sense that is meaningful. Not to discount the value of a good word study, but if I were to sit and explain to my son ...             The Rabbi's Heartbeat3 reviews Brennan Manning NavPress Publishing Group, 2003 Strikes Deep to the Core A book that strikes deep to the heart.

These brilliant reflections, which have the same immediacy and disarming simplicity of his earlier works, are acompanied by stirring ...             The signature of Jesus12 reviews Brennan Manning Chosen Books, 1988 Not a book for spectator Christians I find it appropriate that the most recent review is negative for precisely the reason that Manning writes: Christians would rather "read the map" of Scripture than "visit the place" that Scripture maps out so clearly: authentic, passionate, cross-carrying, self-denying, joy-bearing discipleship. If you want to live in the world of "theology" - the study OF God - rather than in the kingdom of God ...             Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffin's Path to God30 reviews Brennan Manning, 2002 Great Book!

It's not an easy thing to grasp. Maybe you understand it only by living it. And maybe Augustine was right on the money when he wrote: 'Give me someone who loves and he will understand what I am trying to say.

I read half of this book in less than an hour, seated at BORDERS. I was absolutely mesmerized by the passion, the honesty, and the integrity of the author. I was at times gripped by compassion, at times almost brought to tears, at times feeling myself smiling broadly, all this because the book is written from the heart, straight to the heart. Brennan Manning addresses the issues of legalism, ...             Relentless Tenderness of Jesus, The8 reviews Brennan Manning Revell, 2004 Total straight-shooter This guy dares to speak the truth, even at the risk of offending the "church" or many in the church who want to skate by without experiencing the true person of Jesus and what he wants of us. I have never read a book so blunt, honest and profound when it comes to how Jesus loves us and wants the same kind of love to eminate from us. But, I warn, this is not a simple feel-good "God is love" kind ...             The Wisdom of Tenderness : What Happens When God's Fierce Mercy Transforms Our Lives7 reviews Brennan Manning Amazon Remainders Account, 2004 living as the people of Abba Brennan Manning writes: "Instead of a light volley of divine love followed by the heavy artillery of rule-keeping, Jesus' love for the unlovely must pierce the heart of every Christian."
