Brennan Manning argues that God's love is not calm or reserved but passionate and persistent, a love that pursues people in spite of their failures. Drawing on Scripture, his own struggles with alcoholism, and stories from other believers, he challenges the picture of a distant or angry deity and urges readers to accept grace and respond with honesty. He writes in a personal, conversational tone and keeps returning to the idea of being loved as you are.
Christians who feel worn down by guilt or performance will find an encouraging message. It also suits readers of Manning's earlier work who want another look at the gospel of grace.
Inward-looking and contemplative; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
