I've read two of his books, and they've meant more to me than sermon upon sermon ever could.
He's brilliant and lovely and seeing him in this state brought me to tears.
And amazingly he's even more beautiful,
all you have to do is read a few comments from this video to realize the impact he's made.
I've posted some of the comments just because it shows the legacy of such an inspiring man:
This man took a spiritual dagger to the bottom of a very heavy suitcase I refused to set down; he healed the Father image, and lightened my burden one Saturday afternoon several years ago. I remember finally setting that old suitcase down; there's no point in carrying around anything that light and empty-except, of course, a heart set free of hurt, resentments, and plaguing doubt. Jesus, at some point in our eternity, place me in front of this man again, so I can properly say "thank you."
Brennan Manning... a true disciple of our loving Abba. His insights have changed the way I look at my Lord and God. Because of 2 books: The Ragamuffin Gospel and Abba's Child, I see God in a much brighter light.
Just finished "All Is Grace"...ALL INDEED...thanks Brennan for sharing Your heart....All of It:) Yes...FURIOUS LONGING...the suitcase continues to be lowered, ever so slowly, Freedom.
