I have written about Brennan several times, from his insistence that we should never 'should' on ourselves, to his simple words of grace, "lets play." Few living christian authors or speakers have impacted me as much as Brennan. With his health deteriorating, nearly blind, Brennan has finally co-authored his autobiography, a story of severe brokenness and even greater grace. Above is a promo video for the book from fantastic (non-profit) publisher David C. Cook.
I can't wait to read this book, but in the mean time here are a few of my favorite Manning quotes:
"A Saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God."
"When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a rational animal; I say that I am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer."
"There is something more important than understanding."
There are countless others and as I come across them I will share them with you in anticipation of Brennan's final book, All is Grace
