Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging

Rating:
Summary: A Deeper View of Your Inner Child
Review: What a powerful book this has been to read! I cannot feign eloquence as Manning's, but to say that this book made a deep impact on my spiritual life is an understatement. I found myself e-mailing quotes and passages to friends in the hopes that the words offered them such buoyancy as they did me. We all possess an inner imposter, and we need to get in touch with the inner child, just as Jesus was Abba's Child. The thought that God loves us just because we are is quite profound and almost incomprehensible. I recommend this book to anyone on a journey toward deeper intimacy with God.

Summary: Abba's Child
Review: While Brennan Manning is most notably known for his book "Ragamuffin Gospel" this book is Brennan's personal favorite. So many of us face the temptation to believe in what he calls our "imposter" (our false self we show to the world that pretends to have it all together) and show the world someone we are not. This topic strikes a cord in all of us, who have been tempted to be someone other than who we really are and rest confidently in the arms of our Abba Father. You will laugh and you will cry as you read about yourself as you read about Brennan's inner confessions and as you learn to rest in your true identity as Abba's Child.
