Customer Reviews

Just Great

The author, as a priest could not find God in church dogma. Having found God he encourages Christians to stop playing church and find God personally. I would highly recommend the book An Encounter With A Prophet to anyone who takes Manning seriously.

Life-altering

Let me start by saying this: I hate 99% of all the devotionals that have been or probably ever will be published. Christianity has been beset by a plague of surface-level, overly sentimental, faux spirituality.That is not the case here. The stuff written in these pages is truth-the truth of Jesus Christ. The stuff written here flows with love and grace. The selections used in this book deal with what Christianity looks, feels, and smells like where the rubber of Christianity meets the road of life. Brennan Manning clearly expresses what it means to surrender your life to Jesus; and what it is like to live with him. No cost is too great for obtaining a copy of this book. It is truly "bread for the journey." Buy it and then read it. It will change your life (and your eternity.)

Deeper Concepts in the Life of Christians.

A devotional geared for those who love to dwell on the traits of Christ. Guaranteed to motivate those willing to becoming more like Jesus. I highly recommend this daily devotional!

A must own devotional book for "Ragamuffins"!

There is not enough time nor enough words to express the beauty, the wonder, the sweetness and the safety that Brennan Manning's reflections bring to the weary in heart. A shepherd like the great shepherd, this book leads us beside still waters and restores our souls without compromising either our intellects or our hearts. A meeting place for Body, Soul and Spirit with all the Richness of Brennan's experiences as an ex Franciscan priest, a recovering alcoholic and a theologian. A man who has lived, who has failed and who has survived to tell us about it. Excellent and Comforting.
