Additional quotes by Brennan Manning

The deeper we grow in the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the poorer we become – the more we realize that everything in life is a gift. The tenor of our lives becomes one of humble and joyful thanksgiving. Awareness of our poverty and ineptitude causes us to rejoice in the gift of being called out of darkness into wondrous light and translated into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son.

We must never allow the authority of books, institutions, or leaders to replace the authority of KNOWING Jesus Christ personally and directly.
