		"Manning speaks much of God's grace and love, but these precious biblical concepts are actually replaced by vague notions of wholeness through an eastern religious meditation technique, Centering Prayer."

	Books by author: Brennan Manning (www.gaychurch.org)
		Brennan Manning wrote The Ragamuffin Gospel "for the bedraggled, beat-up, and burnt-out," the marginalized folks to whom Jesus ministered: the children, the ill, the tax collectors, the women.
		Manning sharply criticizes evangelists, preachers and priests who induce feelings of self-hatred, and urges Christians to cast their eyes upon Jesus, embracing his love and acceptance.
		Manning, a retreat leader and author who married after leaving a religious community in which he had been a priest, is openly critical of churches and leaders that have failed to reflect and transmit the tenderness of God.

	Healing Our Image of God with Brennan Manning - a Feature of The Phantom Tollbooth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Manning noted that this is the only time the Bible says, "God ran." He ran to the prodigal son when he returned home, embraced him and couldn't stop kissing him.
		Manning suggested that any other ending to this story would destroy the noblest picture of redeeming grace ever given by Jesus to the human family and would reduce the Abba of Jesus to human virtue.
		Manning said it is essential for us to understand that the central theme of Jesus' personal life was His own growing intimacy, trust, and love of His Abba.

	Brennan Manning - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Brennan Manning is one of those authors whose books should be required reading by every Christian.
		The beauty of Brennan Manning is that he is capable of breaking down all the barriers.
		Manning then moves to the logical next step in the progression, which is, in effect, to "go now and do likewise." Recognizing that God likes us, and then liking ourselves is not enough.

	The Ragamuffin Gospel
		This view sees grace as God being favorably disposed towards man, because man is created in the image of God and because God is desperate to have relationship with man. Man is blessed because he is in Adam.
		Manning’s God is a universal Father of man, undistinguished from those with whom He has a special redemptive relationship.
		Manning defines evangelism: "To evangelize a person is to say to him or her: you, too, are loved by God in the Lord Jesus" (p.

		After decades of traversing the country ministering and speaking to thousands of believers, Brennan Manning has developed a firm and disturbing conviction about what he calls a “pandemic” and “dominant malaise” among Christians: most people do not have the settled confidence that God loves them fully, truly, and without conditions or limits.
		Manning is one of those authors who, thank God, keeps writing the same book over and over.

	Contemplative Spirituality
		Speaking at a conference, Brennan Manning summed up his view of the essence of his ministry and the core of the good news: "In healing our image of God, Jesus frees us of fear of the Father and dislike of ourselves." This is a radical departure from the good news of Jesus Christ.
		Manning attempts to give it the validity of tradition by saying that it is has been rooted in Catholic monastic practices since the 5th century: "It is a comfort to know that this is a path that others have tracked before us" (p.
		Although Manning has, for the most part, adopted the language of evangelicalism, his presuppositions are clearly from contemplative spirituality, which denies that there can even be a set of true propositions from the Bible which could be proved literally, objectively, and historically.

	FaithfulReader.com - ABBA'S CHILD by Brennan Manning
		It's been a decade since Brennan Manning wrote ABBA'S CHILD, and the book as a whole is every bit as fresh and powerful in the 21st century as it was in the 20th.
		Manning begins by beckoning Christians to come out of hiding, the place to which we retreat out of shame or guilt in the misguided belief that God is berating us as harshly as we are berating ourselves.
		Now for the "I wish he hadn't written that and I suspect he does too" part: Manning uses the term "inner child," which was a whole lot more acceptable in the early '90s, although there were plenty of us who cringed whenever we heard the phrase even back then.

		Brennan gets right to the heart of the matter and tells it like it is. We are not to continue beating up on ourselves in our walk with Christ, but to accept his grace and be free to grow in our relationship with Jesus.
		Brennan Manning's version of it turned on a few lights for me. I can understand the frustration with other comments on the book's lack of, um, didactic style; when I give this book to someone and they ask what it's about, I cannot pin it down to a teaching on grace or a spiritual memoir.
		Brennan Manning captures the real message about the wonderful grace and unconditional love of God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.

	Manning
		According to Brennan Manning, the childhood friend was Shel, and the book in question was "The Giving Tree." Then Manning would read the entire text of the book to whatever appreciative audience he happened to be speaking to.
		In this version of the sermon, Manning refers to the young Jewish boy as being named "Saul." As far as I've been able to ascertain, Shel was never addressed by that name.
		Manning describes their first meeting in a Brooklyn park, where he grew up as a child.

		Brennan: This journey began, in the fullest sense, in an unexpected encounter with Christ in 1956 in a little chapel in Pennsylvania.

		The man runs as fast as he can but the tiger is gaining on him and suddenly, he spots a rope anchored to a tree trunk and hanging over the edge of a cliff.

	Ochuk’s blog » Blog Archive » Brennan Manning
		Brennan Manning has written many great books such as the Ragamuffin Gospel, Abba’s Child, and Ruthless Trust.
		Brennan is surprisingly short, dresses is in baggy blue jeans, and speaks with a slight accent from the east cost.
		I doubt Manning is 100% theologically correct, but I don’t no of anyone who is. One must read Manning to be challenged, “Do I really trust what I believe?” I wonder why some Chrisians are so passionate about gatekeeping rather than loving… it would seem that Brennan Manning is the least of the world’s problems.

		As Brennan Manning's book helped lift me from the "ashes," I realize there are others who "beat themselves up" and feel that God is so displeased that His love cannot reach them.
		I know Manning probably didn't mean it, but it feels like there is a minimization of the idea that we are lost and cannot find the way on our own.
		Manning's Arminianism shines throughout the book, with some mistaken idea that somehow all people were meant to be saved (see page 43).

	A Glimpse of Jesus: The Stranger to Self-Hatred by Brennan Manning
		Manning shows us that our persistent self-hatred is rooted in a "script" founded in a faulty understanding of the nature of divine love and a lack of clear understanding of the person and message of Jesus.
		Manning also takes us beyond the personal predicament of self-hatred, asking, "What would the church be like if we erred from an excess of compassion rather than from a stingy and legalistic lack of it?"
		Brennan Manning believes that all changes in the quality of life must grow out of a change in our vision of reality.

	Multnomah Press: Covering up for False Teacher Brennan Manning
		Brennan is no doubt wrong on some of the things he says.

		I trust you’re a man of integrity and commitment to upholding the Bible against all attacks or you wouldn’t be in the position you’re in.
