Description: Manning has never written a bad book, so this is no exception. However, I take great exception to Christian publishers' tactic of reissuing a book under a new title years later with no clue on the cover that this book has appeared before. This book was published as "Lion and Lamb" around 1986, and I didn't realize until I got home that what I was holding was a reissue. It also happened to me with John Guest's "In Search of Certainty" (original title), which was reissued as something else, and a book on contemporary Christian music. I've never seen this happen with secular books. Nevertheless, if you never read "Lion and Lamb," read this book. Manning is one of our sanest Christian writers.

Review Summary: Dangerous Book - but not in a good way. |
Date: 2007-06-27 |
|
| |
Details: I read mixed reviews for this book, so I decided to go to Barnes and Noble and see for myself what Brennan Manning really says. All I had to do is get to page three to see that Manning has fallen into the dangerous - indeed, damning - pit of cheap grace, which proudly asserts that God loves us unconditionally. God loves sinners. God is love, therefore He cannot hate. But that is an ignorant statement based on the fact that Manning does not understand that the God who is full of love is also incredibly holy, and requires all who come to Him by his grace through faith to repent. It appears that Mr. Manning has either painfully cut-and-pasted his own version of the Gospel, or either just entirely skipped over the sayings of Jesus that demand repentance and the forsaking of sin. If you want a book about how live the Christian life according to Biblical Standards, not modern ones, then buy The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer or The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee.
But whatever you do, don't get this one. |

Review Summary: Total straight-shooter |

Details: This guy dares to speak the truth, even at the risk of offending the "church" or many in the church who want to skate by without experiencing the true person of Jesus and what he wants of us. I have never read a book so blunt, honest and profound when it comes to how Jesus loves us and wants the same kind of love to eminate from us. But, I warn, this is not a simple feel-good "God is love" kind of book; it is challenging, thought-provoking and very convicting. If you have ever been burned by the church or just feel uncomfortable about church, but still are seeking God, I highly recommend this book because it takes everything back to the basics (without being basic or overly-simplistic), which is who Jesus really is. Highly recommend to everyone! |

Review Summary: Brennan Manning at his best |

Details: "Relentless tenderness" is a phrase worth pondering as well as "ruthless trust" is. Brennan, in his usual style and gift of love and intelligent
pondering of the Scripture has created another masterpiece to cherish.
Bask in Jesus' relentless tenderness and let your spirit soar and find the places that need to be opened to the Master's love. |

Review Summary: Rev. Manning is preaching a counterfeit gospel - don't be fooled!!!!! |

Details: Fr. Brennan Manning is a Franciscan priest who attempted to marry without being dispensed from his vow of celibacy in 1982. He has since peddled a false gospel that is built around the idea that God's pardon is unconditional - a euphemism for saying that you can be forgiven for your sins without repenting and amending your life. This is a lie, and a defense mechanism Fr. Manning has evolved to assuage his guilty conscience. If you really want to seek the Mercy of God, I suggest you read "Divine Mercy in my soul", the diary of St. Faustina, avaulable here on Amazon.com. God's Mercy is endless, but you cannot be pardoned if you are not sorry; Fr. Manning's false gospel will do you no more spiritual good than it has done him. He needs your prayers and your pity - not your money or your reading time. |
