Reading: The Furious Longing of God


The Furious Longing of God
by Brennan Manning

It was a quick read but a good one.  A few favorite quotes...

"You will live with an awareness that the Father not only loves you, but likes you."

"... I will devote not one more minute to monitoring my spiritual growth.  No, not one."

Quoting Paul Murray, "This moment, the grace of this one raptureless moment."

"Young Christians are sick of pablum."

"How could she believe in the love of a God she can't see when she couldn't find even a trace of love in the eyes of a brother wearing a clerical collar whom she could see?"

"The only true sadness is not to be a saint."

"In times of persecution, theoretical Christianity will collapse."
