Furious Longing of God Audiobook

" Absolutely beautiful and resonating. I'll read and read again. "

" Great stories of discovering God's love. However every Manning book I read sounds to border on universalism. "

" Another amazing (although much shorter) work by the awesomely-flawed Brennan Manning. Resonated well personally with directions for accepting yourself as well as accepting others the way Christ did and does. "

" i love manning. but this one didn't capture me as i had anticipated it would. want to go back and read it through again. i think maybe my timing in reading it was off. still, worth checking out. "

" This is book I will read again and again. It was a lot to take in, in one read. "

" Too much emphasis on love, love is not the only God's attribute, and some people might interpret what the author talks about in a very wrong way. So I wish Brennan could address the downturns of what he discusses. However, it still encourages a lot and helps to remember how God is enough. "

" What a moving and life-altering author. I always feel like I have been hit by a brick when I read Manning's books - and reading them always clears my head and puts me on a better and more humane track. "

" Brennan continues to inspire me by painting more colorful brushstrokes of God's grace. Definitely needed to hear this message. "

" Very powerful and poetically written. "

" While an important concept, I felt the books was redundant and sparse on theological meat to chew on. "

" Powerful. Read this too quickly...will have to take time to go through it again. "

" a quick and encouraging read. just right for the moment. "

" The scariest part of this book was how difficult I found it to believe. This perhaps says more of my current state that Manning's writing. As I finished, I felt like a little girl singing "Jesus Loves Me," alternating between yearning and defiance. Jesus loves me? Jesus loves me! "

" Some of the pages in this book, I have dog-eared and re-read ten, or even twenty times. It's really great. "

" Manning has such a way with sitting you down and explaining the simple, yet incredible truth of God's love for you. I loved this book from start to finish. "

" This would be a better book if the author were not always holding himself up as an example. He seems to think we should all be equally impressed with him. "

" Some good ideas, but I found it fairly recycled. I ended up with 3-4 quotes and discarded the rest as 'been there heard that'.I did like "You are only a troubled guest on the dark earth." which is Goethe. "

" What a moving and life-altering author. I always feel like I have been hit by a brick when I read Manning's books - and reading them always clears my head and puts me on a better and more humane track. "

" can't really describe how moving this work is... "

" While an important concept, I felt the books was redundant and sparse on theological meat to chew on. "

" Brennan Manning has a beautiful way with words. Some of the things he said and the way he said them just blew me away. It kind of tapered off a bit toward the end, but it was still a really, really good book. I may even give it a few months and then reread it. "

" a quick and encouraging read. just right for the moment. "

" A good book about the importance of knowing God as “Abba” and living out of His love. "

" I always love Brennan's transparency. Thank you for reminding me of the gravity of belonging to Abba. "

" Picked it up on a whim from an in-store display, brought it home and was not disappointed. Manning's simplicity and passion are inspiring. "

" i love manning. but this one didn't capture me as i had anticipated it would. want to go back and read it through again. i think maybe my timing in reading it was off. still, worth checking out. "

" with Community Group. A little far-out in places, but that is the point! "
