One of my favorite books. Manning makes you realize that as bad as things seem, God is still there for you and guiding you through it all.

While there are definitely a few gems of encouraging truth in here, they're couched in spiritualism, encouragement to look for extrabiblical revelation, and even talk of communication with the dead (by asserting the resurrection of bodies has already taken place, no less).

I read it because my father asked me to as he found it encouraging, but I cannot recommend it to anyone and if you insist you must read it with a whole shakerful of salt.

Warm and vibrant and True.

Really needed this.

Brennan Manning is always excellent spiritual fodder. This book focuses on coming to know who God is and adopting our identity in him as beloved children. He has many blessings to dole out and inspirational stories and quotes to give. I learned a good deal about myself in these pages, especially about humility, forgiveness, and living out the faith I profess.

Shockingly transparent look into the amazing love of God the Father.

Not what I was hoping it would be, more cerebral.

This really spoke to my heart. :)

Incredible, challenging, transformative
