Donald Miller on FB said: “Brennan Manning was scandalous the way Christ was scandalous. The grace he taught was just as controversial. It still is.”
“In a futile attempt to erase our past, we deprive the community of our healing gift. If we conceal our wounds out of fear and shame, our inner darkness can neither be illuminated nor become a light for others.”

"God loves you as you are, not as you should be."-Brennan Manning
"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle," Manning has said. "That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." Manning contrasts the brutality of the institutional church with Jesus' treatment of the adulterous woman of John 8:1-11 and of his meeting of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17). He proclaims Jesus as "the human face of God."
